    When Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971 the dollar began to plummet. Gold and real estate have not changed in value - the dollar has continually lost value. Price houses in gold or oil or pork bellies or orange juice futures and they don’t cost much more per square foot than they did in the 1970s. But incomes have not kept up with collapsing and unsound fiat money. Add massive immigration and lots of NIMBY-ism and zoning laws keeping down supply and you have a big shortage of housing in price ranges most buyers are looking for. The free market can quickly fix this - once it is finally allowed to.
