That’s the demand side of the equation. Simple to fix, in an operational economy, right?

The supply side has been imploded by government decree, leading inexorably to the current debacle. I personally know several builders closing down their businesses. Not for lack of demand, of course, but because construction has been made impossible by vacant-eyed bureaucrats.

Dear central planners and jr. totalitarians:

This self-imposed disaster won’t cease until you decide it’s time for it to be over. Or, keep voting as you have - your choice. You do you.

It’s great for banks and financial institutions and their investors to keep housing prices going up.
