Cost of lumber is up 164% since April 1 adding $14,000 to the cost of an average new home. Up 15% in just the last week. Lots of factors causing the shortage and price increase. Canada closed it's border to the US, tariffs on lumber imports and the latest price increase is due to the devaluation of the dollar.

There is a cost to printing trillions of new money out of thin air. Gold isn't $2,000 an once because it suddenly became more valuable it's because the dollar lost value.
