You sound like a college freshman at a low-tier midwestern university who just took a freshman business course and is now an expert in the actual economy.
You can’t collapse the assumptions of something as expansive and complicated as a housing market into basic notions of supply and demand. It is, without a bit of irony on your part, that you keep calling out literally everyone in the thread with “lol, don’t you understand basic economics???” More or less what everyone is trying to explain is that freshman level economics is not applicable to the real world here.
The truth that you can’t see is that your framework is just too overly simplified to matter here, as are your conclusions.
