> An increase in housing supply leads to a fall in prices, which leads to a fall in supply? No, in fact the conclusion contradicts the premise.

That's econ 101. Or even common sense 101. If something is a worse deal because prices just dropped then people are less likely to start making it. Hence the supply stops rising and even drops because some people overshot in their business plans and now they stop making it because they just found out it's bo longer as profitable as they expected.

Aren't you the one that just sees the one side of how supply curve works and forgot to check back with how the real world works?
