U.S. home prices are the most unaffordable they've been in nearly 100 years
From 1950 to 2008 the USA built ~25 million homes per (edit, not year) decade. From 2008 to 2018 it was about 7 million. In recent years building rates have mostly recovered but there&#x27;s still that gap in production combined with everything else the last handful of years.<p>This isn&#x27;t to discount the shift of ownership from human persons to corporate persons, that&#x27;s a factor too. But just numbers of available houses versus population plays a role.
