Does the standard of living also factor in somewhat? In the 70s it seems that the houses you speak of were 1,000 sq ft simple homes, I don’t see anything similar being built nowadays which has to factor in to housing costs rising vs wages. Did we decide we needed bigger and better despite our wages?
