My work abandoned their offices during covid. The building is being converted into luxury apartments. Capitalism is fundamentally based on the deprivation, not the satisfaction, of human needs like food, housing, healthcare, etc.

Probably because you can't convert offices into affordable housing. The cost is staggering.

"cost" or "price"? If a high price isn't clearing a market . . . something uncompetetive is probably happening.
