This reminds me of housing problems in boom towns. People move to the towns because reasons and overwhelm the basically static housing supply. Towns are reluctant to build out infrastructure because it's expensive and time consuming and they aren't sure how long the boom will last. Developers are reluctant to build because they don't want to take the risk of building out more housing and then just as they open everyone leaves, again.
People are spending their summers, remotely working, in a winter resort town. But what happens when the winter comes and the town isn't so fun anymore. Or when the SV office wants you closer to home. Will some of these remote working migrants be willing to take on a pre-construction loan and 30 year mortgage? Probably not, which is why housing is the way it is. Everyone is grazing and trying to figure out this new era of labour.
