Texas, Florida and Arizona would disagree - although on the other hand, housing prices are actually coming down in Austin, so maybe it depends on what your actual goals are.

One part of the housing debate which I believe is generally ignored is occupancy both in market rate and affordable housing. Until occupancy rates hit around 95% in either type of housing, you probably shouldn't increase the supply of housing from both an economic and environmental stand point. It is hard to argue you need to build more housing when the current stock is only 70% occupied. Of course, the availability of this data is limited for obvious reasons.
