I did a little digging and was able to find out a bit more on that number. Seems they are factoring in the recent collapse of Winnie prices into the shelter costs because the number of retirees living on the road has risen so much in recent times that the Winnie factor now accounts for 80% of shelter number(only when Winnies drop of course). This now gives hope to all those parher Winnie sellers that they might actually get someone to buy their road anchor since shelter prices are really up 2%. I know it sounds convoluted but trust me...these calculations work. Greenie told me so I know it's true. It's another way compassionate conservatism addresses the needs of America.

Where do you see the difficulty? The median mortgage payment has barely budged over the past few years, seems CPI is capturing that fairly well.
