Why don't they just build more housing?

>>60574093 (OP)
because high prices are caused by excess credit availability and not limited supply. my rural flyover homedown has lost population every year since 1980 yet prices are still going up, in excess of inflation.

Just build your own house? Depending on area you could get a brand new custom house for like 400k

>>60574093 (OP)
You don't want what they have been building.

I always thought this about nobody being able to get a house in Ireland. Are they stupid? The country is empty. Just use tax money on that

>>60574093 (OP)
build it yourself

The real estate pyramid scheme world wide has reached a tipping point. Its no longer profitable to build homes as 35 years of the treasury shitting bonds uncovered have driven material price inflation to the stratosphere while real demand is accelerating its decline. Buying a house now is retarded beyond believe, building a house now is being financially masochistic

>>60574093 (OP)
Extreme rules and extremely many additional costs added by the government which makes it close to impossible in Germany. For starters you can only build on places the government dedicates for buildings and these places are extremely rare and cost 300000 euro s for 100 sqkm. It's artificial bubble keeping.

Remember when (((they))) tried to convince us the chinks overbuilding (albeit crap quality) housing to the point they had "ghost" towns was a bad thing?
Guess what, the ghost towns have filled up now.
Changs had the last laugh again.

i cant even build a shed without getting a permit in canada

>>60574093 (OP)
that would decrease the value of their "investment" and only make money for the construction company

>British floor categorizing

You can in Belgium. My parents just completed a 130k single home on a plot inherited from my pepe. I only took a 60k mortgage on my 200k single home.
The shortage seems to be in and around the big cities where the dunecoons are spilling over.

thirdies have it so easy for home building, you can at any moment go out and get the materials and be building the same day and answer to nobody about it. Nobody will start fining you for building it too slow, or fine you for not building it up to some arbitrary code that's different for every city, like requiring a certain space or distance or using certain materials or doing tests for environmental impact.
We're being strangled by bureaucracy intentionally to prop up prices, it's bullshit.

>>60574116
Still beats renting

>>60574093 (OP)
Whenever you find yourself asking "Why don't they just make more [thing everyone seems to want]?", the answer is almost always the bureaucratic nanny state. If you find yourself asking "Why is [thing] of such low quality?", the answer is almost always inflation.

Yeah, what we really need is more Section 8 housing.

because capitalism doesn't allow people to have affordable housing
it want's people to be homeless and living on the street

>>60574093 (OP)
zoning laws are the usual reason, though sometimes geography plays a role as well.

No one wants to work anymore. The government is still handing out covid checks every month.

what’s it like to have mush for brains and to live exclusively off of internet memes?

Ireland doesn't have a section 8. They need literally anything

where i live in socal, they never stop building. locals complain because of added traffic. too many people want to move here. there's no more space, they re-zone to turn every little plot into housing.

that's the problem, people want to live in good areas, but there's only so much housing that can fit.

>>60574672
Um, sweaty, it's capitalism that makes things affordable. Before capitalism was fudalism: kings had no need of affordable light bulbs for example, they have plenty of servants to light candles. Queens have no need of mass produced nylon stockings, they can afford silk. They don't need cars either, because they have 100s of people to manage with horses and fancy carriage.
Housing could be mass produced too, but the kings and queens (rent seeking boomers), working through their puppets, the regulators, who hold capitalists heros back from delivering affordable goods (whist said heros capture only 1 or 2% of the value they created, very very rarely this makes them billionaires: that is a good thing. Show me a country without billionaires and I'll show you it is a third world shithole)

>>60574093 (OP)
they are
even california recently repealed a local law restricting new builds
the real estate industry isn't gonna tolerate the current paradigm of barely any sales
they will make new houses, prices will go down, and transaction volume will increase
