Right now median house price is 350k and gdp per capita is 70k (so 5x)

In 1954 median house price was 19k and gdp per capita was $2,400 (so 8x)

So yeah I’ll take the current economy please.

GDP per capita doesn’t mean much here, median wage would be a lot better.

Also there are a ton of different stats for median house price and 19k I can only find on a single source, the rest is a lot lower
