can any of you explain why home ownership rates in 1970 were a crack lower than they are today?
Or, maybe you can explain why vehicle ownership per capita in 1970 was about 300 fewer vehicles?
Those dudes just didn't know how much discretionary income they had!! Those idiots!
Hmmm idk maybe because most people were still living in city centers and didnt require a vehicle to get to and from? Most women stood home with the family. Most interstates being fully connected and intertwined in the early to late 70's.
Again these are social economic ideas you are failing to deploy here.
Most families were single income households during the times preceding the 1970's and the 1970's. Quite simply there was not a need or requirement for a second vehicle.
Fast forward to today. You see my point?
