It literally affected emergency services' ability to contact each other in multiple areas of the country.
It doesn't really matter which side is out of whack. Housing is unaffordable.
Continuing with the high interest comment that sparked this thread, back then a 10.5% interest mortgage in a typical house was 45% of median income and in 2023 a 6.5% interest mortgage was 53%
If mortgages were still 10.5% in 2023 housing would be 78% of median income.
Because homes were still affordable then.
1988 Median Household Income ~27k
1988 Median Home Price ~113k
So a home was 4x annual salary
For 2023 the numbers were ~59k and ~$418k Roughly 7x annual salary.
