It's a temporary solution to a long term problem. The main issue is poverty and inequity. Apartments can often be seen as a catch-all, but keeping people in the rent cycle instead of offering affordable ownership opportunities is prolonging the issue.

No you didn’t, all you said was that not providing ownership opportunities is prolonging the housing crisis, you did not substantiate that claim whatsoever
