I think another issue with the "housing crisis" isn't necessarily that there aren't enough houses, but that people can't afford to buy houses. Heck, even car prices have gone well beyond what the average middle-class can afford, so think of how much worse it is for housing.
But I think it's also offensive the way the interviewer, when Vance sugests bringing in the disaffected American workers into the workforce, she says "in construction???". Seriously, I have FAR more respect for the folks who work in building our homes, offices, factories & the like than I do for so-called "journalists" like her. As a software QA engineer myself, I have to think there's something to be said for a job where when you're done you can see a finished construction project, a tangible result of your work, and know that will last for years and years, while software is illusory and will be abandoned as useless and obsolete within a few years.
