The life satisfaction chart is what caught my eye.<p>Everyday I am more convinced that the high real state prices are eating away a lot of the income in the economy. Prices are not to bad in median cities with houses around $150k, but most larger cities start around $250k. This is income that cannot be used to buy other things. But the prevailing mindset requires you to have a lot of space between your family and your neighbors. Which IMHO is unsustainable.
