It's housing prices relative to wages. Almost all the social ills are traceable back to that.
Off shoring & immigration (legal & illegal) drive down wages (and having women in the workforce, but we don't talk about that).
Immigration, NIMBYism, and fractional reserve banking (giving people huge loans creates an arms race, if everyone else got a huge loan you'll have to also just to compete) force housing prices up.
Non debt money, fuck immigrants, women back in the kitchen, tariffs out the ass, and tear up the zoning and building code crap.
Then you could work 4 days a week and afford a big house.
You are correct. Unfettered immigration drives down blue collar wages while increasing taxes and inflating the rental and housing markets, but you get a trendy new cell phone every year
Not just blue collar wages, nowadays it's white collars also
