The dollar wouldn't have been eroded by inflation as it has been.

Did not prices rise hugely in other places?
For example what does it cost in pounds to buy a house in london or in Euros to buy a house in Germany?

This is not by any means a US dollar by itself problem

Revaluing gold permitted the Treasury to issue 75% more dollars against its gold stock.


The Treasury had and has no need to have a reason like gold being revalued to issue 75% or any amount more dollars.
Gold was disconnected from the money supply, and the money supply also had little correlation with gold at the Treasury or the Fed since well before 1933.
