Ahh that makes sense then. Yep agreed! I got confused because I usually hear people refer to housing prices as property purchase prices, and housing costs to the continuous component. I would have phrased this:

> For housing to stop increasing in price, a lot of it has to be built.

As

"For housing costs to stop increasing, a lot of it has to be built."

It's difficult and ambiguous either way though... Costs being plural and price being singular is maybe what threw me off as well?

Thanks for clarifying!
