I’m amazed that 49% support it.
In 1960 US minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the cost of the average house was $11,000.00* A high school grad could move out and be self supporting instantly.
*Unless you’re ready to prove that inflation is the reason houses today are larger and have things like air conditioning, don’t tell me that modern houses are ‘better.’

A lot of older houses also had better passive cooling and more design consideration towards the environment (facing where prevailing winds come from, having wind funnels, chimneys that expel heat from the house, large cool basements that people would move into during the summer, not chopping down all trees within 3 miles)
