Will Population Decline Affect Housing?

[Devin James]

There’s been a lot of talk about declining birth rates in the U.S., how will this impact housing demand in the long run?

I brought it up to a friend this morning, saying I was concerned about what a smaller population could mean for the market.

He made a great point: immigration will offset that decline.

Fewer people being born, but potentially more people moving in.

Has anyone else thought about this when looking ahead at the housing market?

The mainstream narrative/masses are almost always wrong.

Anyone recall peak scares? lol

Here's what's going to happen in the coming years, and it will happen sooner than most people expect.

AI is going to unleash insane progress in biotech and drug discovery. We are going to see gene therapies and new drugs come to market at the fastest pace in history. 

We are going to solve problems that we only dreamed of solving.

All this will result in grossly extended health spans and lifespans. As a result, population shrinkage worries will work themselves out as more and more people live longer, healthier lives, are able to have children later in life, etc.

Your comment: "AI is going to unleash insane progress in biotech and drug discovery. We are going to see gene therapies and new drugs come to market at the fastest pace in history."

The reason there is a chase for the new drugs (ie profit $$) is because you can't patent natural cures.

Most problems we encounter in the medical field are self inflicted by what we eat and drink. GMOs are not the solution.

Actually, people are going to realize that drugs are not the answer. A clean food and clean water source are. Shots (injections, pills, compounds) have terrible unintended consequences. But, it will be too late for some.

Those who recognize that we are more than DNA and body parts will take themselves more seriously.

Putting air into a basketball that has a hole in it will keep the ball inflated only as long as the air going in is faster than the air coming out. AI can not make the air go in fast enough for the human body.

Of the 20 pills my mother was taking, 10 were to counteract the negative effects of the others. Pretty clever, make products with a side effect so you can also sell the solution to the side effect.
