Why is a home in an unbelievably popular place to live, which is also full of massive amounts of new money, your measure of inflation?

A home near me is about 100k for 2000 sq ft main floor. Does that mean inflation doesn't exist?

What a weird argument.

that's localized inflation due to housing scarcity in the Bay, it's not hitting the economy as a whole.
