    Where I’m from, the median house price has risen 600% relative to the median income in the past 50 years.

    That means the deposit we pay today is the equivalent of the entire 30 year mortgage of the people calling you lazy.

      Yup, the 137 points is just “core” inflation. Education, Housing, Food, and Cars all come in over that. Which is fine because those aren’t necessary in the US right?
