it's wrong anyway
the prices for 1990 are more like 1980...
the "median home" wasn't $79K in 1990 even in New Orleans, much less in the US as a whole
when i see one statistic that's blatantly wrong, i have to assume they're all made up

@peachfront@mas.to @MightyOCD@mastodon.social Same. Although, to be fair, I had much more pressing things on my mind than median home prices.
