I don't even need qualitative data to show you the framing of this whole discussion is disingenuous at best.

Yes, Will, the government *does* measure all of these things... But those data don't all prove you're right. In fact, many of them tell me that you're wrong!

More importantly *actual* wealth among the lower 2/3 of households, not just relative wealth, has gone down since 2000.
The whole income/purchasing power argument is disingenuous because that's not in any way the only, or even best, measure of "affordability."

You're probably thinking of Kevin Brown. Apparently Dan has never officially held the title (yet), but he's been working in that capacity off and on. The sheer turnover in the role is probably just as big a factor as any individual, though
