Not if the government keeps building new housing like this article is mentioning. There will always be supply.

Like I mentioned in another comment it’s different if the housing is being built simultaneously nationwide, like Japan, then people don’t have an option. That represents a nationwide shift in mentality where housing is no longer an investment. Cars are pretty evenly priced across the nation (within a few thousand) so people don’t have an alternative. But that’s not the case here.

The speed of building is limited and may be below demand.

Often in conclusions like this a particular trend is getting extrapolated outside of the applicability region, becoming invalid.
