    Lol no I did not say that, to the contrary, I said there are a set number of houses (it does change but not very fast, not like other commodities like tomatoes or oil). And everyone needs one (1). That’s why when people can borrow loads of cheap money, prices go up.

    That’s so hard to grasp?

    Fascinating.

          You sound like a college freshman at a low-tier midwestern university who just took a freshman business course and is now an expert in the actual economy.

          You can’t collapse the assumptions of something as expansive and complicated as a housing market into basic notions of supply and demand. It is, without a bit of irony on your part, that you keep calling out literally everyone in the thread with “lol, don’t you understand basic economics???” More or less what everyone is trying to explain is that freshman level economics is not applicable to the real world here.

          The truth that you can’t see is that your framework is just too overly simplified to matter here, as are your conclusions.

            Insults is what the idiot uses when he’s out of rhetoric.

            It’s not my fault you don’t understand the the housing supply chain. Maybe you shouldn’t try to “explain the basics” and sit back and think about it, it’s not the simplest of things to be fair. I’m just answering because you seem eager to understand (and the lol is responses to more or less “u so stoopid, stoopid”).

              You already said you needed to rule out fundamental realities like the ability to create more supply quickly and easily. Nor the surplus we face.

              I don’t think you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about, that is all.

                Yeah, they have no idea what they’re talking about. They cannot provide any data to back up their claims, but apparently this hill is what they’ve chosen to die on.

                You sound like an old AI, your first sentence is just gibberish, the second insulting.

                That will get you nowhere lol.

                  You don’t understand. I don’t care. No one here does.

                  The point is you are applying college-freshman level principles to a rather complicated system. People keep arguing and downvoting not because of your self-perceived smart-troll brilliance, but because you are just spouting nonsense.

                    “no one cares about you” what a stellar argument.

                    Do I “care” you think? Here is how much I care about some homeowner who thinks he’s smarter than economy professors:
