Would that residential real estate and construction were one and the same with housing.
Would, too, that the economy was actually one and the same with the people who live in it, work it, and prosper by it.
They’re false equivalents, alas. Unequal more in nature even than measure.
The “unpause” button–never having been tried before–may meaningfully reboot activity in the next several weeks or months. We may hope that it does. But it may not.
