It is an issue that has *way* more political significance than actual impact on consumer finances. People spend like 10x on housing compared to gasoline, but housing cost increases are greeted with a shrug while gas price increases are apparently a sign of the end times.
And funnily enough, politicians can actually impact housing prices much more than they can impact gasoline prices.
