Should local governments prioritize creating more affordable housing?

Housing isn't affordable because of the Federal Reserve.

In Moberly they are building houses but they are setting the rent 1000$ to 1200$ or more plus utilities. Last time I checked People can't afford that and people who are on a set budget needs affordable housing that they can live in not 500 to 800 a month when your are barely making it .

The question should be would you want affordable housing in your neighborhood?
