<div>Look at it from the standpoint of the family that owns the
local lumber yard. They have bills to pay - maybe the yard
still has a mortgage, and there's electricity, payroll,
benefits, taxes, etc. They probably do OK when business is
normal, say there's a million board feet going out the door at
$1/bdft, so they bring in a million dollars. Point is that
most of it goes to paying those bills I just mentioned. But
what about now? There is a lumber shortage. They can't get
lumber as easily any more. They might be able to move only
half a million board feet, but those bills are still there, so
they need to put the price up to $2/bd ft to bring in a
million dollars to pay the bills.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I don't necessarily agree with what the video
is representing . In my area ( Sulphur Louisiana ) , lumber
prices doubled and sometimes tripled from one week till the
next week . It can be blamed on hurricanes , which we went
through back to back last year , or forest fires last year
but my thoughts are people being greedy and ripping us off
and there is NOTHING we can do except pay the price , or ,
do without . Same thing with the steel building components ,
prices tripled with-in two weeks . Just my opinion of how we
are being taken advantage of .</div>

I happened across this video just a few days ago.
Several factors, but the central theme boils down to
basic supply and demand.<br>
