      the first dingy one bed apartment I had out of college 15 years ago basically tracked my income, meaning it’s about the quality of place I can afford now after making a lot more money

      Shouldn’t we also consider these days it’s usually median household income for 2 earners? Back in the day it used to be only one earner in most households so the gap is even worse

      You guys buying houses? I just had to a buy now, pay later with only 45% Interest on some fries.

    5. This chart by it self means nothing as household size has decreased because of all the new single mother households and the house size has increased a lot since 1985, do not be fooled by data presented without context.
