Housing shortages in big cities can cause severe social consequences. Some people think that only government action can solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In metropolitan

cities

, the shortage of accommodation is turning into a severe burden for citizens and some are of the opinion that

this

issue can be tackled solely by the actions of a government. I completely agree with

this

argument and I will fortify my view in the following paragraphs.  One reason why I believe the government can deal with

For instance
