Lyrics

(Verse 1)  
In the city streets where the buildings stand tall,  
There's a housing crunch that affects us all.  
People move in, but homes are few,  
Population grows, what can we do?

(Pre-Chorus)  
Demand is high, supply is low,  
Prices rise, where did all the houses go?

(Chorus)  
Where did all the houses go?  
Why's it so hard to find a home?  
Urban dreams are feeling tight,  
When will we get it right?  
Where did all the houses go?  
Let's learn the causes, don't you know?

(Verse 2)  
Zoning laws keep the buildings down,  
Red tape slows progress in the town.  
Investors buy, profits they chase,  
Leaving locals out of place.

(Pre-Chorus)  
Income gaps and sprawl expand,  
Affordable housing slips out of hand.

(Chorus)  
Where did all the houses go?  
Why's it so hard to find a home?  
Urban dreams are feeling tight,  
When will we get it right?  
Where did all the houses go?  
Let's learn the causes, don't you know?

(Bridge)  
Social strains as families roam,  
Economic strain, can't find a home.  
Commutes grow long, tensions rise,  
Solutions seek to turn the tide.

(Verse 3)  
Build more houses, plan with care,  
Balance the needs, make it fair.  
Community voices need a say,  
To find a brighter housing day.

(Pre-Chorus)  
Innovate, collaborate,  
To end the crisis we create.

(Chorus)  
Where did all the houses go?  
Why's it so hard to find a home?  
Urban dreams are feeling tight,  
When will we get it right?  
Where did all the houses go?  
Let's solve the problem, don't you know?

(Outro)  
Yes, we can solve it, don't you know?  
Where did all the houses go?
