    Sure, but they were still proportionally cheaper the SFHs, as were condos, but the overall median price is through the roof. I also seem to remember some statistic that upwards of 20% of housing stock sits vacant for some ass backwards tax purpose, though I couldn’t quote that article right now. I dunno, perhaps we need more at the legislative level.

    And per your shed comment, the price of those skyrocketed when building materials went bananas and demand during covid outpaced supply as everyone was stuck at home and had nothing better to do than house renovation projects. They never came back down because retail outlets and suppliers are greedy dicks. But I don’t think demand for them as a living accomodations was a catalyst, though I could be wrong.
