The crisis, if there is one, is that GDP has fallen even faster as a percentage of net worth.

The mainstream framing is all wrong. We're not spending too much, we're spending in the wrong ways. we're spending in ways that drive up asset prices without growing the economy.

In a market with reasonable house prices, buying a house is an alternative for some renters. In this market, very few renters are able to buy. That makes the number of renters higher, pushing up rents.

Again, I don't disagree that we need to build more houses.

Yield = rent/price. So if the price rises a little faster than the rent, then the yield will go down, even though the rent is going up.
