> There is no excuse for what is happening now in the housing market It's not an excuse but an explanation. There's no supply, people aren't selling their homes because they don't want people coming into their houses due to covid. Couple that with record low interest rates, everyone is rushing in to buy, making demand skyrocket. This makes sense, it fucking sucks, but 100% makes sense. However, I do agree with the second sentiment: >the free market is failing us Absolutely. More housing should be built. Hell, even more *public* housing should be built. But I don't think you're going to go far in demanding builders to construct single family homes where there isn't much land left in high-demand areas (like Los Angeles for example). Plus with construction material costs skyrocketing over 100% from last year due to covid restrictions, those homes would be extremely expensive. Zoning needs to be changed to allow for higher density housing to be built.
