You might want to hold off on some of that place the blame game that every generation loves to play. I think all generations have done their fair share. Do you know that relative to inflatation the cost of homes were flat from 1945 to 2010? It's probably still holding true, but I haven't seen data beyound 2010.
All that matters is relative to income, inflation metrics are a scam https://i.nostr.build/VfKhgWKT212fkRjs.jpg
You honestly think the median household income has only gone up 15% since the 70's? That chart is a scam.
