Look, just start charging every single newborn a monthly fee, simply for being alive. They pay it from birth to death, and then they can be placed in government-appointed housing for “free” otherwise, paid for by that fee. It solves the economic housing crisis! Absolutely nothing could ever go wrong!
The real inflation rate is slightly worse, even. Twenty percent over the last hundred years would be 2000% reduction in purchasing power, but it's actually closer to 2300% reduction overall.

Point taken, but 1,5% per month is like 20% a year.

Yeah, we have pretty close to that.
wow. it sounds like social security. but for housing.
If everyone can have free social housing they can increase property taxes on anyone not living in section 8 housing
Dammit, I wish I’d have thought of that 🫃🏿
