I love how part of the proof is SF Bay area housing going up in price.
Economy really has nothing to do with that, Bay area is a small landspace with ever increasing immigration...almost 100k people in growth since 1995, increase of 15%, and is currently one of the top 10 fastest growing populations in the US.

I guess the point is just to demostrate a trend of stagnating incomes, housing prices being up compared to wages is merely an example. I considered it being a common place tbh, but here's practical result of what he's talking about from the first source I've found -- the pecentage of home owners is dropping.
