      How are the two related? It’s not a zero sum game, there’s new houses being built all the time.

        There are studies recently released that show that the people who are buying houses 20 years ago are the same people buying houses today. It is a zero-sum game because nobody else is able to buy a house, especially not if they’re younger.
