When interest rates fall, people invest more and purchase more homes. When rates rise, they do the opposite. There are no known exceptions to the law of demand, even though political hustlers want us to believe there are. For instance, politicians want us to believe that when higher minimum wages are enacted, employers will hire the same or more low-skilled labor in response. They want us to believe that when they raise taxes, people will be just as honest in reporting income as they were before.
Criminals also respond to the law of demand.
When crime's cost to criminals rises, they'll do less crime. If it weren't for the fact of scarcity, there'd be no economic issues. Scarcity simply means we all want more of something, but there are not enough resources on Earth to satisfy every want. That means we must find a way to determine who is going to get what's available. For example, even if Rolls Royce built 100,000 cars a year, I'm betting that of the Earth's 6 billion people more than 100,000 of them would like to have one.
