Socialization is always brought up as an excuse not to allow WFH. The thing is though, replacing real socialization with work fucking blows. Talking to a coworker to get the latest TPS report isn't socialization. It's work. The only time you do any real socialization is after work ends. And there's nothing stopping you from going out to dinner with coworkers when you work from home.
I would say that they're creating the short supply, and the real issue is that we're able to charge money for something people need to live. That almost always causes exploitation.
Normally when a price for a good/service is too high, we can stop buying until prices go down. With necessities though, if we stop buying, we die. That means landlords and home sellers don't have to adjust prices much.
I feel the solution isn't to make a shit tonne more homes. It's instead to stop charging money for homes. Unfortunately this isn't going to happen willingly.
