Yeah I mean I'll give you that, I've lived here my whole life, and the real estate market has always been somewhat of a bubble. Maybe you saw the article that was posted in this sub last week, explaining that most of our housing shortage issues are the result of people owning second homes, or that is at least the highest percentage of vacant homes and apartments.

I think they're a lot of causes for the shortage. Not building for many years didn't help. Second homes don't help. Gentrification doesn't help.
