If you keep building at some point it becomes unprofitable to invest in housing.

And what is more likely is we see housing prices drop, a massive pullback and an oversupply.

Except that most builders are investors in the SFR space. In the end, we’re expanding rental availability, not first-time home owners.
Why not first time homeowners? It all depends on returns.
Because renting is unlimited income and selling is a one time income?
Look up the "time value of money", NPV and return on investment.
