that seems a bit self fulfilling, most people aren't homeless, so of course the average household size is greater than the number of people per house. That doesn't mean that they are in a happy or affordable position.

That's exactly my point.

It's not about a lack of houses in general, but a lack of housing in specific places and a lack of affordability in housing.

And yeah, facts have a way of being kind of obvious when you look at the figures.
