Which is a silly conclusion… What’s the point? The better question would be why isn’t more housing being built? And I suspect the answer to that question is there is a vested interest in increasing that deficit.
Whenever someone starts to conclude that housing is so expensive purely because there aren’t enough homes, they often follow that up with pointing to construction costs. Which to me screams deregulation and wage complaints, two things an improving society should not be encouraging.
Tldr; there’s a housing shortage because… there are not enough houses being built
and they’re too lucrative to make them affordable.
