Why/How has the cost of living increased over time? Particularly in the US.

It seems like everything is always going up in price. Is that because of corporate monopolies or something? Do costs of living get higher as a society becomes more industrialized/advanced?

One big factor in housing is dual incomes. With both people working, they can afford to pay more.

Houses are also getting bigger. We like to say houses were cheaper in the mid-1900’s, and they were, but they were also much smaller and had fewer amenities.
