Damn I've seen some really stupid takes on here but this one is really something special. Cherry picking the numbers here is so obvious and the ones that you ignore, like income, so blatant that I'm unsure how this isn't flagged as straight up misinformation. That's not even the stupidest part though believe it or not. Why would you even try to cook the books like this to make it seem like there's nothing wrong with the home cost situation? How could trying to convince people of this fantastical situation possibly benefit you?
it's not dumb at all.
that is, I don't see what he's saying is good or bad, just "food and housing have stayed a similar ratio". Which is interesting.
But we should be wondering at the cost of groceries at the very least.
You don't think it's dumb to say that housing prices currently are proportionate and make sense?
