Well, there was a time when people could afford housing. That's gone now. The past definitely had some great things that have been taken away from us.
That was a very limited boon made possible off of the backs of the cumulative dead of several modern wars. Prior to that, the notion of "home ownership" wasn't even a thing for the most part.
The median rent price in the US has not gone down in 80 years.
Then we must start WW3 then
There was also a time where we killed someone who disagreed with us instead of being sad about it on the Internet too.
