>quality car

Ironic considering that the reason cars have gotten more expensive was because their quality increased.

>quality house

They've gotten bigger over the decades, better equipped, and the monthly payments have actually gone down

I won't disagree with you that cars have increased in quality, but I don't believe homes have.

Bigger isn't better. Better equipped? Sure, maybe.

When I look at the new homes under construction today (or over the past few decades), they're shit. They have more floor space, and that's about all.

Can you elaborate on this? How are they "shit"? Bad build quality? Tacky design?
