You see a lot of this shit on X by young 20 and 30 somethings that have no concept of money or economics.
They want a 5000 sq/ft home for what they make in their side gig job and MUST live in NYC or Cali because anything else isn't "cool"

This shows you how much the dollar has depreciated.
Then when these people move from Cali and come here they bring their stupidity with them and now our housing prices are over-inflated...
Partially, mostly this shows how fucking ridiculous California is. Same size home, similar neighborhoods in 100’s of cities for 1/3 the price
If you lived through 2008/2009 you’ll appreciate that $250,000 homes selling for $600,000 didn’t work out well for those who bought more than they could afford.
Something actually went down in price for me. I just bought 1,000 gallons of propane for next winter at 1.99/gal, down from 2.05 last year. A rare exception to the trend.
I’ll admit to not fully understanding the M2 relationship but I lived and went under during the dotcom crash so sensitive to comparisons.
My downfall then wasn’t stock, I owned a dotcom business (agency) that went from turning down $50k jobs because we couldn’t keep up, to game over $500k in debt and corp bankruptcy in right at 5 months. Brutal
