You can't tell me that increasing the pricing of construction materials won't have negative pressure on home construction.
> Materials may make up say 60% of the cost of a house, but only 50% of this is likely materials, with likely a minority of the materials tariffed.
And where does the construction equipment come from? The parts to repair that construction equipment? The parts that go into the trucks that the workers drive to the job site?
Focusing on a single input is myopic when the tariffs are so widespread that they touch everything.
