How do you invest in a housing shortage?

[Robbie Taylor]

An article came out in my local newspaper saying the community where I live will need to double it's new home building rate between now and 2025 or face a major housing shortage.

Obviously prices will continue to rise.  What is the best way to capitalize on this kind of market?  Is it just to rack up as much single and multi-family units as you can now, or is there a less obvious way to take advantage of the market moving forward?

Thanks!
