If home prices collapse it will do absolutely nothing to ease the non-stop complaining about housing prices by young people
It’s just like electric cars. A decade ago the discourse was “when they make an ev for under $40k with 250 miles of range I’ll buy it”.
Then the goalpost gets moved repeatedly.
There are literally people today saying they won’t buy an ev until they sell for under $40k and have 400 miles of range.
People love to complain and if we get another major discount on houses like we had from 2008 to 2019 or so it won’t slow down the constant complaining about housing costs in the slightest and young people will think it’s hilarious that boomers just lost a big chunk of their net worth
