    I would like some houses without people. Having a little surplus is usually a good thing. So like if some houses become unlivable, we have houses for the suddenly unhoused people.

      I guess they mean it from a sustainability perspective. Stop building homes that aren’t being used to house people, ie, stop building homes for speculators.

      That part of things could be aimed a China. They have something like double the amount of housing their population needs. To someone in a country with out of control housing prices, that might sound like a good problem to have, but it’s still wasteful.
