I've never even heard of this hypothesis until now.
I think if the right was baselessly peddling it surely the left would be screeching about it and we'd all at least know about it from one side or the other.
Seems like they're answering a question nobody asked.
While there is validity to this logic, the slightly lower labor cost does not offset the need to house more people, particularly when the cost of land and materials is so astronomical
