Add to that some of the highest wages in the country and people who are not lazy should have no problem covering their basic shelter needs.

Plenty of cheap housing? Strongly disagree.
What little cheap housing there is is gone when the person makes that call. It's no different if one scans the classified or any other publication. By the time it makes print the place has already been rented. Problem is you have countless numbers of people competing for that rental unit.
If what you say is true then people wouldn't be complaining about the high cost of rent.
