there is plenty of unused housing inventory. the problem is that people can no longer afford rents.

don't worry, the supreme court just overturned the chevron doctrine. hope you weren't for right-to-repair or net neutrality! but pesky "overregulation" right? it's all bad if it comes from "the government."

If we were meant to exist forever all these physics things would not be able to harm us. Constrain us to life on Earth. We couldn’t die.
Entropy is a bitch.
Using that logic, thanks for agreeing with me!

Your grasp of contemporary memes is not armor against physics.
Feel free to add just one of the "8 billion official and academic resources" that you and OP ignored.
If you say supply and demand doesn't work for housing (science proven over centuries in human societies all over the world), you are similar to vaccine deniers.
