Thank you for another great post. America has seen records broken in all sectors since COVID-19 hit our shores, especially in housing. The great resignation coupled with remote workers slowed the productivity of building departments in cities and counties nationwide. Recently, it took months to have a lateral sewer line replaced by one of my Bay Area home sellers. Won’t this trifecta of the delayed building permit processes, a labor shortage and supply chain issues continue to elongate the housing shortage (crisis) while bolstering home prices through 2023?
