The original argument mentioned China as a country that does not have a housing shortage. Somehow you just decided that the poster is suggesting we transition our system to a complete free for all, unregulated market. It's unclear why or how you arrived at that conclusion.

Also, the Chinese have been simulating the housing sector to encourage domestic growth. The Chinese housing sector did not grow out of control just due to lack of regulation. It was also financial stimulus and incentives to encourage building.

So, you just pounced on that other commenter, accused them of something they didn't say, and despite believing that you understand the Chinese housing market you actually have no clue. You are literally the Dunning Kruger effect manifest info a hacker news commenter.
