The Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott, highlight the urgency of the US housing crisis, estimating a shortfall of 4.5 million homes for a healthy market. They emphasize that the stigma against affordable housing stems from fears of crime but argue that providing safe housing actually reduces costs for taxpayers and lowers crime rates. The brothers propose a significant reduction in construction costs, aiming to bring the price of building a one-bedroom unit down from over $800,000 to under $200,000.
