參考答案【正確答案：B】
文章第一段言明住房問(wèn)題不受關(guān)注，第二段說(shuō)明不受關(guān)注的原因，最后一句話“But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.”（但是最重要的原因是住房問(wèn)題通常都與政治相關(guān)）。這句話表明作者的真正觀點(diǎn)。選項(xiàng)B involves certain political factors是politically charged的同義改寫，故選B。
A項(xiàng)“吸引很多關(guān)注”與文意相反，C項(xiàng)“承擔(dān)太多責(zé)任”與原文說(shuō)的shoulder the blame不符，D項(xiàng)“喪失價(jià)值”與原文說(shuō)的是“不善于表明真正價(jià)值”不一致，故排除。
