Yes, they are, but the rich people with investment needs provide the bulk of the demand. Supply barely covers their need and most people who just need a place to live were priced out of being a demand in market sense. Houses are sort of dual use good. And customers for one of the uses dominate.
People in France and everywhere are starting to demand (in a governance and social sense) that governments stepped in and curbed dual use.
Nurse salaries are already pretty high in a lot of places, but imo the American healthcare system has a longstanding issue with asking too much work from doctors and nurses.
Almost nobody would say that a shift longer than 12h is a good idea for skilled work. It's certainly longer than the allowed work periods for pilots and truckers.
Yet doctors and nurses routinely work 16, 18 and even 24 hour shifts. This is seen as normal, but it makes very little sense.
I can't get past the paywall, so I don't know exactly what factors this article cites, but usually people cite stress from under-staffing and being over-worked and for hospital workers a rise in workplace violence. For nurses subjected to gig work systems, there is probably also a lot of career uncertainty.
So, I'd propose that the first line of fixes would be: Staff more; Refuse to use nursing gig-work systems; Make health care, especially preventative health care, affordable.
If you need something but don't have a budget for it, that's not demand.
I wonder how that is related to houses. Are houses a demand? If they are not, what's the definition of demand?

They're also replaced in droves. We build hundreds of new student accounts at $dayjob on a monthly basis.
Is the nurse quality of life that terrible? What can they do to make it better?
Either hire more nurses to lessen the workload or pay more money so it is worth working yourself to death.
