There are exponentially more people today. In 1850 there were 23 million people in America, today there are 330 million. There was a 15x increase in population, with more than that in the city centers.
Texas had a population of 212k in 1850 and 29 million today. How can you compare the size of a house or land ownership then to today?

- solotronics 7y agoAt that time land was given away via grants in Texas to anyone who would live there by the hundreds of acres. Comparing that situation to land (housing) prices in a major city today is nonsensical.
