I forgot to ask.... Since you want the CPI to reflect asset appreciation do you want it to reflect gains or losses in the stock market as well? It would seem to be consistant with your wanting home prices reflected in the CPI. What % of the CPI should stocks be? What about treasuries? If a renter never buys a house and never will buy a house does his cost of living go up even if rents don't? 35% of houses sold in 2004 were for INVESTMENT purposes does it makes sense to place in the CPI those investments but not stock investments? Look there are plenty of things dead wrong about using house prices as a CPI measurement. That does not imply that OER is perfect as it is not but I believe what you are asking for would be worse.
