An impossible mystery!

Chris: Will you actually make any sort of prediction we can actually grade your centrist political philosophy against?

Matt: (sound of a car speeding away)

Housing sales tepidly recovering for a decade through a prolonged GCF hangover, exploding the minute people had some cash on hand, then immediately collapsing as home prices exploded and interest rates shot up does not strike me as a market really meeting demand.

What does it imply is happening if housing prices heavily outpaced income growth, but the share of income spent on housing stays the same? And as a follow up, why might this be upsetting to people?

The average sale price of a home went up by over 100,000 dollars in 24 months.

Senate Democrats, literally:

You said the distribution of cars was more skewed towards SUVs and trucks circa 2007 than now. That is not true, not supported by any data. To your other point, there is no correlation between vehicle miles and ped deaths, they in fact increased most dramatically while pedestrian deaths were falling

Trucks and SUVs have been increasing as the share of US vehicles nearly monotonically for decades. The mean weight of vehicles has done the same. You are simply wrong.

The year you’re describing is almost exactly the actual minimum pedestrian deaths during the modern era. It’s also plainly false that cars are smaller now.
