> These two things are supply constrained

Health care yes, housing, no. It's possible to build more housing to meet demand, or for people to move to balance supply/demand vs. prevailing wages. Or to have a smaller home or more room mates.

Housing is often constrained because of real estate owners controlling the political process and eliminating new construction to keep the value of their property high. Not due to economics.
