The answer is that the average home now costs roughly 5 times yearly income compared to around 3.5 back then

If you ignore mortgage rates at the time.

If you were paying straight cash they were cheaper compared to yearly income

I'm not saying your graph is wrong but
"The Trace is a nonprofit news organization that focuses on gun violence". I can speak to my hometown of a little over 10,000 people now. Murders and shootings happen here more frequently here than they did in the 1980s, without question.

Speaking of ignoring things, you also would have been able to refi into a sub 10% rate less than 6 years into the 1985 mortgage. There is no mathematical way to frame today's market as better than back then.

Moving the goal posts everywhere. You'll find a win eventually









probably not though. You tried to bring up late 70s early 80s conditions as teh argument to make the entirety of the decade worse than it actually was. Bottom line is things improved through the 80s. Keep grasping at those straws though.

No i didnt. I said i was surprised the other guy was the first one to bring up the 80s mortgage rate crisis.

I never commented on the 80s as a whole. Every post i made was about 80s mortgages that someone brought up. Go read them. This is you crying about something that never happened

And you've now had it explained to you for several pages why it isn't actually that surprising. Are you playing with a full deck or what?

It is still surprising actually. You havent explained anything. All youve done is grasp around to try to play some gay game of gotcha.

Mortgage rates in the 80s were out of control. Its a fact. Nothing you say will change that.

To you because you are a simpleton. Or arguing in bad faith.

One or the other. Maybe both. I've had enough.

Wait… according to Reynolds… people were freaked out in the 80s… in part because of the Cuban Missile Crisis 20 years before?


frick RR, he is totally full of shite. My dad had to close his dental practice in YR 3 in central LA as he was drafted to go to Ft Gordon due to the Cuban missile crisis. I was born at Ft G instead of in central Louisiana. Then they wanted him to re-up but they wouldn't send him to oral surgery school and he said not happening. It's like RR has zero understanding of Russia or Cuba and what they were attempting to do. RR needs to shut his gaping hole and go back to Canada and stop making shitty movies.

The source is our FBI crime stats. Look at the bottom. You can look this up yourself. It's not secret or bad information. It's universally accepted outside of certain right-based echo chambers.

Can you point me to where I can find the actual number of murders reported for Lake Charles between 1980-1999 as opposed to 2000-2026? Not the murder rate, the actual numbers.

Reynolds is so tiresome, he peaked from 05-08 and ever since he’s been the same insufferable douche in everything.

Idiot

80’s were glorious for children and adults

I was 6–15 yrs old

The world was safer

No Social Media
Music was Amazing
