The issue is the areas people are moving to don't have enough supply generally. Yeah there's a lot of vacant homes but a lot of them are in like, Bumfuck Nebraska. Thing is there actually is a lot of affordable housing in the US, it's just far away from all the job and infrastructure, that's why a culture of "super commuters" who drive like two hours to an office in LA to work exists now, and why during the pandemic a bunch of workers who went remote decided to go buy houses in West Virginia and Idaho.
well, theres your problem
lmao so technically the problemo is because american urban planners (best in world) built all the houses over 9000~~km~~ miles from where the economy functions, fucking genius. Therefore, it is an issue of building more homes... but closer to urban centers. Where I live, there is a lot of property development (suburbification) going on... but its in the areas 2+ hours from the city center. We truly are america's 51st state.
