The government already did, and they got the same answer. My point was that can be confirmed with something that is easy and simple to estimate.

I guess you're implying that these things could diverge and the inflation rate matching could just be a coincidence.

But I don't think it's possible, because they're all part of a feedback loop. The people who build cars have to pay for rent and health insurance. The people who manage apartments and work for insurance companies eat and drive cars.

Edit: The selling price of my home in 2019 was 53% more than the selling price in 1995. The CPI was up more, roughly 70%.
