I agree especially in Manhattan..but I am talking about wages..most people I know are working incredibly long hours and have not gotten good pay increases.. some people I know have gotten laid off again.. to me inflation comes froms higher wages and people having more money to spend on items.. why hasn't there been wage inflation? if the labor market is so very tight? they call it productivity..I call it enslavement plus using the global market to have many things made abroad... if things are so good why do a lot of people have two jobs? if things are so good why does it take usually two workers in one family to maintain a fine life style?
