Will housing ever return to normal?

[Marian Smith]

NYTimes asks has home buying and how home buyers look at buying fundamentally changed?  Austin and Austin home buyers were profiled in this Sundays NYTimes article.  I can't post the link but there is a paywall anyway.  I accessed through APLibrary's virtual library. Internet buying, airbnb investing.   Pretty bullish sentiments reported on the Texidus and all things Elon relocating here..by Californians.   Interesting read, particularly for Austin investors.  Thoughts?

@Marian Smith real estate in my opinion will never be "normal" in the US. The US's zoning obsession with only single family homes paired with NIMBY-ism and the decrease in available land means that desperately needed multi unit buildings will rarely be favored, thus the forever increasing march towards increased home values will continue unimpeded.
