I like the way you think.

Here's CPI for All Urban Consumers: All Items Less Shelter in U.S. City Average. [1] Index level in August 2019 234.853 Index level in Sept 2023 280.869

An increase of 20%. Very similar to overall CPI.

So rent hasn't kept up with housing prices? Some other anomaly in the calculation of CPI?
