Comment on What you need to know about why house prices aren't coming down

Supply and demand. That’s it. That’s literally the main reason.
While there is more demand than there is supply, prices go up. When we keep bringing in even 1000 immigrants a day, demand keeps going up while supply isn’t increasing, so - you guessed it - prices go up.

Cool story.
Do you disagree with the principles of supply and demand?

Your opinion is very popular on reddit. You should check it out.

Even reddit gets things right occasionally I guess.
Do you think supply and demand isn’t what drives prices up, or do you not understand how supply and demand works?

I mean you’ll see more people resonating with your opinion there. Here you will be bashed. Potentially with good reasons.
I believe in supply and demand yes, and I don’t believe real estate follows that. It’s a game and those who know how to play and have better resources win.
As mentioned here, there is the COVID example. I don’t find your explanation credible. “People” (if I can use the term for those who benefited from the pandemic) didn’t get rich so quickly for your explanation to make sense.
What I do remember, not what I think, was people complaining everywhere that they couldn’t find workforce. I remember a lot of chaos that happened directly because the immigrants were gone.
Other than that, I’m not an “investor” and I would never be. So I can’t debate that. I do know that investors (I know quite a few of them) are the cancer of society and their death would directly benefit everyone, probably also solving the real estate issue and I would be able to buy a house since anyone wanting to profit from that would worry about being murdered.
That’s my personal opinion on the subject. After all investors are killed, then we can start checking if immigrants are a problem and try to solve it. But it’s probably a somewhat radical opinion.

We have consistently built more dwellings than our population has grown for the last 10 years. Immigration is not the cause of the housing crisis, fiscal policy that rewards property speculation is.
Funny how people choose to ignore the actual facts because they want to point the finger at migrants. It's almost as if they're looking for a justification for their racism.
