    housing used to be affordable. I’ve seen the value of the modest house i grew up in increase in value after my parents sold it so much that I can’t afford to even think about buying it now that i’m the age they were when they bought it. and it looks like the new owners have let it go to shit.

      Exactly. People did talk about how homes on TV in the 1980s were unreasonably large, but the idea that Al Bundy’s family or Roseanne’s family couldn’t have a house at all was not even one people considered. Because of course you could afford a house.
