Yes I agree it’s just one factor. It’s necessary but not sufficient.
I think I another huge constraint is construction labor. Which is very tight right now.
I’m reminded we built the Empire State Building in 9 months. I see delays for single family homes causing it to take years.
- lotsofpulp 1y agoThose aren’t comparable. A delay in a standard stick built home would be due to legal issues. Otherwise, tract homebuilders in the US have metrics of building a brand new house within 100 days. The labor costs are high, but not that high that construction is delayed due to lack of labor. Land prices and clearing legal hurdles are the bigger problem.
- Bjartr 1y agoAn important consideration for the Empire State Building is that it was not built by the lowest bidder. It was built by those who were considered most likely to be successful at the endeavor.
