I have noticed this anecdotally as well in costal areas of the United States.
It’s like textbook Baumol’s cost disease[0], except housing is rising fastest while the cost of labor nearly not at all, because buyers (hiring firms) just don’t buy
I always found it interesting that a lot of economists thought that a rising tide lifting all boats could be characterized as a "disease".
