I frame the increase in housing costs differently.
Our expected ‘minimums’ in every walk of life have vastly increased – particularly in housing. We don’t produce three bedroom ‘1000 square feet of house as we did postwar or even 1200 square feet we did in teh 60s. By 2000 we’d doubled to 2200 square feet.
And amenities? we’ve about quadrupled the amenities we’ve included in the houses.
In retrospect we’re getting what we pay for at a discount.
I focus instead on outsourcing the productive economy and financialization of the economy that has left the bottom half out of most gains since the seventies.
I do try to remind the bottom half that the reason that they’re in this position was their embracement of the democratic socialist program during those periods and how they forced business, industry, and finance to seek global markets rather than be ‘blackmailed’ by the combination of unions and the democratic socialist movement among the democrats.
Democratic socialism destroyed european economies. It just took until now to see that it’s irreversible. By the seventies we knew the end of socialism. By the sixties the end of communism. It’s taken us a long time to ‘get over’ the false promises of the marxist(class) -neomarxist(cultural marxism) – Postmodern(truth marxism) -feminist(sex marxism) -woke(race marxist) revolution – all lies and stupidity of silly people who were captured by false premises and magical thinking.

It’s exasperating how much harm believable lies were to humanity. It’s almost as damaging as the spread of abrahamic religions and the false promises they promoted but caused the dark ages in europe the middle east, central asia, and are still threatening us today.
