“…It just warps the value of everything when 75% of the people have higher thresholds of affordability...”

Hmm, I have to think about this in my response to it. But my off the top of my head reaction is:

“everything “isn’t for everyone, and different products at different price points are marketed to populations with different income streams.

not all people can afford a 3,000 sq ft 4/3 new house in suburbia, I mean a nice one.

Not all people should be able to afford this in my opinion. Who’s gonna buy the little old houses that need families to live in them? Why must everyone strive for what the upper classes buy?
