Huh... the things the government regulates to make “more fair” have gotten ridiculously more expensive in 20 years, while those dominated by the free market got less expensive. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

Germane to Housing, although yes, more expensive than 10 years ago; the nationwide index is keeping pace slightly above inflation. That is a good thing, and since this is a 20 year average and we have to take into effect the boom then crash from 2005-2010, housing is exactly where it should be.
