    I remember this time I was working in North Dakota a few years back. Sitting in a flowback shed watching gauges with my coworker who was many years my senior, both freezing our asses off. Staring out the frosted over window he said “Life used to be good, dude”.

    Back in the 50s and early 60s women were homemakers except for the ones like my mom who got divorced and had to go to work which was rare.

    Oregon is one or the worst if not the worst housing cost as a percentage of income in the US. For many years Portland was like one of the best kept secrete on the West Coast as SD/LA/SF & SEA home prices went crazy, of course it didn't take long for it to happen here too. I bought my first house in Westmorland a block off the Park, little two bedroom cottage type for 27K. You couldn't touch it now for $400K

    My childhood home was purchased in 72 or 73, I don't know (I wasn't alive then). My parents paid 29K on a single salary income, with 2 kids. Their house was last "assessed" at 650K, and truth be told, it's not worth 650K.
