For reference we built less than half as many homes from 2008 - 2017 as we did from 1998-2007.
Population growth has outpaced construction for 20 years now. Even if we deported 10 million illegals tomorrow, we would still be in a housing shortage based on population.
Populatuion growth versus housing growth is not 1 for 1.
Population growth can be 10% and you'd only need 2-4% housing growth. But long term trends are showing population decrease so building homes at this point in time is a fools errand. Going to be a massive deflationary housing event assuming the illegals are kicked out of the country.
