    There’s really not. Exotic mortgages are being hidden by private equity offer DSCRs. As well as AirBnBs deregulating the hotel industry. The number of people in the US didn’t increase. And yes COVID caused building to stop for a year but that doesn’t explain a 40% price jump 4 years later.

      None of this seems like an argument that there is one and only one reason and I don’t see what any of it it has to do with grouped together use of housing in particular. I feel like people are just dogmatic about their pet cause being the one true one because they believe in the political implications of the narrative and not letting the ‘other side’ influence it.
