The power that comes with a job title or position is actually quite limited. And it also calls into question as what exactly is meant by power. Personal power (getting your way?) or creative power (putting forth your energy for the benefit of the organization). I find that it's actually not too hard to have a great deal of creative power, regardless of personal power -- by listening and responding well to the needs of others and by effectively solving problems.
Power implies the ability to cause change. When you say "real" power I think you might have some specific kind of change in mind. What kind of organizational influence are you considering "real" power?

I interviewed here recently and know some of the leadership and employees. My sense is that this is a high-quality, well-run engineering team. The office space is really nice, too.
After watching this Tom Scott video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nh_vxpycEA I bought this CO2 monitor: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00MB93CK8 It worked quite well and showed that I don't have anything to worry about. Now I'm trying to pass it on to someone else. I'll be willing to sell it for half price if anyone is interested.
If anyone is interested it seems you can find (more or less reliable) sensor modules for about $20, such as the MH-Z19, and read it from to an arduino or esp.
> Houses cost what people are willing to pay for them. And when people stop paying what is being asked, the price goes down.
I follow that. Is there a delay in the system anywhere, though? For example, does it take a few years for the price correction to happen? Delays can really mess with a system -- leading to oscillations, etc.
The inefficiencies are the regulations preventing housing from being built and property taxes from rising. In a free market system, when the price of something goes up so does the supply. Since that can't happen, the market can't adjust.
Even without regulations, it takes a while to physically build a large number of houses and create enough infrastructure around them (roads, parks, schools, shopping, etc.) to make them appealing to consumers. It's not like you can print out entire subdivisions at a moment's notice.
Imagine you were selling a house. The absolute upper limit on the delay would be how long it takes for you to come down on the price if there are no buyers (a month at most). If there were other sellers who may have already waited for a while, the delay will be even shorter. Houses are less liquid than stocks so the delay is relevant to some people, but it's much faster than the timescale over which housing shortages play out.
Or you own the house, but have external factors like your mortgage; or psychological factors like "I don't want to lose money on it." In which case you will pull the house from the market, rather than correcting the price. Or alternatively, not list it in the first place unless you are distressed. Any of these outcomes reduce supply and would cause prices to be stickier.
There is a huge delay in publishing the prices for which houses were sold. In an ideal world, we would really know how many offers were actually in play and what was it sold for the day after it is sold. Access to that information varies and there are lots of insider-trading-like actions done with this information.
