54. To make things worse
Builders all over the country have found ways around requirements to build affordable housing, including rental properties, to balance the boom in McMansions. It isn't like these monsters are going to come way down in price; you're not going to suddenly see 8 bedroom houses with vaulted ceilings selling for $100K. There's really no fallback; the people who need housing still can't afford it. Sometimes, letting the market decide doesn't work out, and this is one of those times.
