In 1919, the average pay was $750/year. A house costs $1,500.

If the Government had not stolen the purchasing power (through printing/inflation) the average cost of a house should be about $120,000 if you assume an average pay of $60,000 today.

Most of the these houses don't include foundation and land.

Either way - the Government stole from the people about 2/3rds their purchasing power the last 100 years if you assume average house costs over $400,000 today.

This makes sense, when you look at say, Nancy Pelosi's wealth and the wealth of any elected official before/after then 'serve' the people. Government has NEVER helped anyone but themselves - don't be fooled.
