Rents included in the CPI. The argument is that a house is an investment. I.e you sell it in the end. Investments aren’t included in the CPI. I think that’s BS because investments increase in value due to inflation (and not just because of their inherent growth). I get the difficulty of extracting the natural growth of the asset from the inflationary growth, but I also believe most of the 2008 monetary mass increase was shoveled into financial assets and this has to be considered. that’s the gist of it.
