We'll settle for homes we own, but that's too much apparently 🙄 (lemmy.world)

I like to post that in 1960, we had a minimum wage of $1.00/hour and the average US home cost $11,000.00

Whenever I do, someone will point out that houses today are, on average, bigger.

They never mention tiny homes and six people sharing a two bedroom apartment...

They also fail to mention that the cost of materials today is wildly lower making larger homes easier to achieve. Not to also mention advances in building techniques.
