Lumber prices have already come back down by quite a lot, though they haven't returned to their starting point. And they're never going all the way back down, not because of any conspiracy to keep them high but because inflationary pressures are pushing all prices higher. If anything the gummint would rather have housing prices low, it'd keep them from squalling, no matter how much graft is being used to oppose the concept. There are other, more lucrative causes to focus on.
