Even the title is a bit of a mess. What happens when the price of $THINGY goes down (where $THINGY is housing)? It depends. Did the price drop because of an increase in supply, a decline in demand, or both? That's what determines the overall effect (including something as basic as the change in quantity!), you can't just reason about a price change in isolation. If this article comes from the Strong Towns folks it's not making a very good argument for their POV, I'd expect way better.
