cheaper housing would help solve a lot of problems:

- more people would start families (more babies instead of cats/dogs)
- less loneliness 
- improved mental/physical health
- reduce homelessness
etc etc

all of these problems seem to be getting worse and they are all downstream of housing being expensive (even the case for really smart software engineers). not saying this is the only thing but definitely seems like a good one to focus on.

This take sums it up:

“The weird thing about real estate being an investment in the U.S. is that news of homes becoming more affordable and prices coming down is reported as bad news.

I think this is a fundamental dysfunction of the U.S. economy.”
