[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is a demonstration of this Atlantic piece about how people remain woefully in denial of the housing shortage in this country: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/11/us-housing-supply-shortage-crisis-2022/672240/

New housing starts are not keeping up with population growth: https://usafacts.org/articles/population-growth-has-outpaced-home-construction-for-20-years/

There genuinely is less housing per capita than there used to be. Virtue-signaling doesn't change reality. It's harder to afford a home today than it used to be. I have no dog in this fight, as I'm well off and actually bought below our means during the previous downturn. But I'd simply be an a-hole if I sat around asking why others aren't as thrifty as me.[/quote]

Ha, NO. [b]There was no housing shortage before the pandemic. [/b]Do you really think millions of houses all across America fell off a cliff in the summer 2020. This NAR prosecuted myth has been disproven countless times.[/quote]
Yah, no: https://www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/2019-state-of-the-nations-housing-report-shows-us-housing-supply-falls-far-short-of-what-is-needed[/quote]
