There is more than enough housing in the US to house everyone here

Only if you assume that the entire country is a single market where specific location is largely irrelevant. The places where a lot of housing is available is usually because it's not where people want to be. Like I could buy a house on main street in the town where my grandparents grew up for <$100,000. But do I want a small house in bumfuck nowhere that doesn't have any land attached to it and requires significant upgrades and maintenance due to age? No, not particularly, especially because it would either mean a 2+ hour commute to a nearby major city or an entirely remote job.
