if society doesn't have enough homes then it should reduce birth rate, change my mind.

One in ten houses in the US are vacant.

"Society" has more than enough housing. We just distribute it poorly.

so it's barely an issue, just like the top 10% of people by wealth

No wonder America has bullshit squatter laws.

Wow, didn't know this high a % of homes are vacant. In fairness, this is why I said "if."

looks likes(falling birth rates) its working unintentionally, but the billionaires/gov'ts dont want that, thats why you hear them come up with all these excuses to get people to have more children, or why they arnt haivng children, instead of addressing the actual cause.

Society absolutely does have enough vacant homes.

Falling birth rates are very bad, as it leads to a reduced share of productive labor, meaning our kids will have to work more and we may never retire, all other things being equal.
