5 million unplanned immigrants Illegally crossed, the Mexican border, since Biden came into office. Every one of them needs a place to live. That means that they'll need at least 2 million extra homes to be built but won't because the skilled labour needed isn't near the numbers necessary to do the job. What does that mean? It means that home prices and rents go up. It's how the economy works.....almost a law of nature. The more people chasing fewer products, increases the value of those products, in this case real estate. Add to that the insane building regulations and you end up deep sixing the American dream. It's inevitable.

@katydid2877 The people that move around, have decent jobs. If you're at the lower end of the economic scale, you can't afford to move around all the time. You're stuck where you are. 2 months rent, in advance is already a hurdle, most of the economically deprived, can't clear. The homes are for sale, yes but they're being bought by those who made good choices.....not the ones who studied dance theory and flipping burgers at a fast food joint. What good is it to the poor, that the well off are buying homes at their leisure. It's a two tier system and it's was brought on by extremely poor political decisions and the growth of a bureaucracy that's out of control. There are building codes that cover everything. There in books so thick that you can hardly carry them and they add to the cost of home building. Also, do you really think that the 5 million illegals, most as poor as they come, are buying and renting all those homes? They get put up for awhile....MAYBE....but they generally end up living in the lowest of possible places to dwell. They're not moving into the new housing developments.
