“That sounds like an Atlanta problem” one can only reasonably address this issue locally/regionally. To paint broad strokes with the national average is CRAZY disingenuous given addressing inventory deficiencies isn’t like shipping a widget from Omaha to Los Angeles.
Most people need to not worry about the national average because it is skewed (speaking of - what is the actual distribution?) - they need to worry about wherever they actually are.
ETA addressing the last paragraph of your comment: agreed! That is something to be celebrated. Wallowing in doomerism certainly doesn’t help anyone but let’s also not pretend this isn’t a very real problem people face (home unavailability).

Yes. Never said otherwise.
they need to worry about wherever they actually are.
Yes, and 98% of people are not in Atlanta. What’s the percent in other cities, do you know? If not, then the national number of 0.2% seems like our best proxy, and that number seems to indicate most cities are not having this problem. If you have data that covers all metropolitan areas and not just Atlanta, then I’m all ears, but I couldn’t find anything like that.
