Housing market affordability is so bad that Zillow says it will take you 13.5 years to break even on a purchase from July onward (finance.yahoo.com)

Along with what the other comment said, all the people that are buying that aren't corporations can actually afford the house they're buying largely due to the WFH change so they all moved out of cities with their large salaries and moved to low cost of living places, took all the affordable housing and since there's no economic collapse they will continue to be ok (thankfully I guess?) so there won't be a housing crisis other than the unaffordability crisis which isn't a crisis to capitalists it's just a feature of their market based system.

The solution "the market" chose was neofeudalism... Can't buy, only rent. "I take your income forever and continuously raise the rent until you can't afford it and then the next schmuck moves in. Where you go, who cares? Not my problem." Lovely society we have...
