They also just listed the set of the largest expenses for a vast majority of our society (even if you don't pay for education)

Buying a house is an asset acquisition, not an expense. Housing is an expense (and typically the single greatest household expenses), but that expense has increased in price less than home prices.

The next greatest expenses are food and transportation.

Further people are buying more housing than they used to.

If people buy four household computers that isn’t inflation, but how does buying a 4 bedroom home rather than two bedroom show in inflation stats?
