At least once the datacenter bottleneck has been cleared.</p>

<p>Housing supply is inelastic due to the time it takes to permit and built.<p>Housing demand is more elastic than you suspect. People have income on a curve, and at a certain point of price/quality will move further out and commute or move to a lower cost of living city entirely.</p>
