I'm not sure that is completely true. In the Washington DC area people were happy to move further out during the pandemic because they could work remotely.

But now that return to office mandates are back, people have to live closer to their offices. Or they get fired.

They are forced into a limited housing market that they would otherwise not want. And the housing market continues to be artificially inflated because of these mandates.

Not to mention there are plenty of empty/abandoned housing spaces and an over abundance of short term rental properties these days. We don't need more space for building. We need to utilize the space already built upon.

In DC was have half-empty luxury high rises and they keep building more. So they need to find ways to force people to live there.
