Why You Can't Afford A Home (Anymore)

It also asks whether governments can really fix the problem, or if expensive housing is the new normal. How house prices have outpaced wages since late 1990s. Cheap credit and low interest rates drove prices higher. 2008 crisis; policies kept prices from falling much. Homes treated as a global safe asset for investors. Demand outstrips supply: planning, NIMBY, limited land. Rising costs, labour shortages, and developers holding land constrained building.
