Did I at some point say we don't need more housing?

Protip: switch to "yes, and".

You won't get a positive response by continuing with "no, actually".

I believe these same corporate forces are a major reason why housing isn't being built. Hence my focus is on them, not simply "build more homes".

In my city, homes are being built, but only by the rich for the rich. I'm finnish, btw.

    Right back atcha, pal. You had ample opportunity to agree that the biggest problem is lack of housing. Instead you embraced the narrative of the OP.

    In my very first reply to you:

    If there isn't an overabundance of food (as you yourself admit, housing is insufficient).

    This whole time I've been trying to tell you, "no, that is actually a problem" because you started off by minimizing the contribution of corporate interests to the housing problem. I guess I should have made the the implied "as well" more obvious, but it was always there.

    You didn't start off with "we need more housing". You started off with "it's not the companies and they are good actually".

    So no, I wasn't gonna reply with "yes, and". I didn't have the option because what you started with needed actual refuting, first.
