There are a LOT of these type vids showing the BS narrative of Lumber shortages. Nothing short of market manipulation to drive up prices, most notably homes. Why Homes? Part of the American dream is to buy a house. Can't do that if they're priced out of the average middle class incomes: look at California where you pay $500k for a damn shack.
Do some investigating.

I was flooded out in SE NC by Hurricane Flo. in 2018. All building materials have been rising in this area since then. Between all the hurricanes, floods in the midwest, and fires in the west I am not surprised by the rise in wood and other building prices. Plus many people are moving out of their liberal areas and either building or buying homes. If they buy an older home many will remodel it to their liking. And then we have so many people adding on or remodeling their homes during COVID.
Exactly right Swimkin!
