And the reality of it all is actual value hasn't gone up, the value of the dollar has deteriorated immensely!
If you bought 358oz in 2000 for $100k that same 358oz is now worth $1.64m. So that increase in housing costs doesn't look quite as bad viewed in that context.

A CNN reporter, a BBC reporter, and an Israeli commando are captured by Hamas in Gaza.

The leader of the terrorists said he'd grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.

The CNN Reporter said, "I’d like one last hamburger with fries.”

The leader nodded and said it would be done.

The BBC Reporter said, "I want to describe the scene here and what’s about to happen so my government knows I did the job until the end.

”The leader nodded and said it would be done.

Then he turned to the Israeli commando and said, “And what is your final wish?”

“Kick me in the butt,” said the soldier.

“Do not mock me, Jew.”

“I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me in the butt.

”So the terrorist leader shoved him into the open and kicked him in the behind. The soldier went sprawling but rolled to his knees, pulled a pistol they hadn't found, and shot the leader dead. Then he grabbed a rifle from another terrorist and suddenly they were all dead or fleeing.

"You could've done that all along?" asked the Brit."Yeah, why did you want to be kicked in the butt?" asked the American.

If I hadn't," replied the Israeli, “You two would have reported that I was the aggressor."
