also, the simple fact that more people looking for somewhere to live means less accessibility to that housing if supply is fixed

    When has the housing supply ever been fixed, though? It's always growing, and it should always be driven by demand.

    In an ideal world it should. But in reality the demand can rapidly outpace the growth.

    New York added 33,000 homes in 2024 and gave permits for 15,000 new ones but you still see extremely low vacancy rates and high demand outpacing these constructions.
