I could afford to put a roof over my head and food on my plate easier ten years ago than today.

Sure big screen TVs have progressed, but let's not ignore that the changes of the world are regressive for some.

This is the problem in the discussion. Many on HN don't remember what it was like to buy a house in 2010, so they assume it hasn't gotten (far) worse. It has.

Or, they already have a house/mortgage and thus do not know how much worse it has gotten. I.e. housing costs as a % of your take home salary.
