Not for buying housing or healthcare I'm reasonably certain
Sort of, although the amount consumed for both has risen enormously so comparisons are tough. But while their share of spending has increased, we are simultaneously consuming more housing, more health care, and more consumer good than ever before. Where is the crisis??

It sounds to me like we're largely in agreement. I think the status quo of housing, transit, and healthcare is bad, sounds like you do too, but the magnitude of it isn't a short term thing, and by some measures if anything people are doing better now (or as of January) than five years ago

The HAVE'S are consuming. The HAVE NOTS are struggling. It's not that it's a fake crisis, it's that it's only a crisis for a segment of our community. Go visit a food bank and tell me again how there is no crisis.

I live in a community where the media income is about $55K and the median home price is $600K so maybe better define the "we" in the "we" who are "simultaneously consuming more housing." Second home buyers and investment banks are consuming them.
