Fresh NextJS project cannot hit root route, keep getting redirected to home

Pretty straight forward. Inside the app folder there is page.tsx with the default vercel stuff.

If it try and hit http://localhost:3000/ i get redirected to http://localhost:3000/home.

If i put a home folder in the app directory and put page.tsx inside it I cant see the page contents when i navigate to /home.

But even putting a new page.tsx inside app and accessing the root directory / I still get redirected to /home
