>Sure, 2020/2021 the prices of Timber exploded due higher demand. This variable is simply not taken into account. Indeed, the article ignores costs entirely. According to a 2020 study, mass timber buildings costs 2.4-12% more than concrete buildings over their lifetime[1]. That said, if carbon emissions were taxed to account the destruction they cause to the world (and consequently the global economy), I bet wood timber buildings would be way cheaper to build, even in the middle of supply shortage like we saw during the pandemic.
