I've been doing some work on the house and the price of 2x4's and electrical wire is insane. How can anyone afford to build a house right now?

^^It's sure not from all the housing construction in Albert lea..
Lumber prices went crazy with the Trump tariffs and his zero interest rate were pushed on US...so much for the Party of less Government.
Trump's chosen Federal Reserve Chairman J. Powell ( Republican) is now planning to take the country into a recession/depression...lumber and every other commodity will collapse...

It was $120 for 14/2 wire. I had a roll of 250 feet I bought 15 years ago, it would have lasted me the rest of my life, but I lost it in the basement flood. My brother reminded me that he was with me when I bought it and we both bought a roll on sale for $17 at Home Depot

Found this interesting article about it. From May so it's a little dated...
Lumber Prices according US Forest Service
This summer I was doing some work at my gals place and needed one sheet of AC plywood. 80 bucks! That means normal plywood must have been around 50 bucks. How can anyone afford to build a house with those prices??!?!?
