Dude, you can't complain about personal attack when you tried to pass off 23K vs 350K

And, neat trick how you again ignored that the 350K house bears little resemblance to the 23K house you speak of.

As for where you can buy that 150K house, you might want to ask yourself why such a house doesn't exist and yet home ownership rates TODAY are a crack higher than they were in 1970.

Pull away from your argument and just examine that for a second. Please.



LOL want me to pull up a realtor listing for a shack in Seattle that costs 3/4 a mil.

You also seemed to ignore the fact that I didn't claim I was a economic guru. Forgetting to convert 23.5K into 2017 dollars was a simple misstep.

Still though, 150k < 350k.

OK. Well, given that........perhaps you might consider wondering why those well off folks in 1970 had a lower rate of ownership of virtually any luxury item you can think of. I mean, I don't think you can come up with 1 where that won't be the case.

Think about that economically.
