"You have a weird theory that ignores actual history." Mmm, nope. I've said that 50% of homes would be affordable (or unaffordable) to the median, which was true then and is still true now. You're the one with a not only historically inaccurate but also mathematically impossible theory, that 100% affordability might be possible. This has never, ever been the case -- nor can it ever be. "Most of the West was able to offer society affordable housing for much of the post-war period. " And at that time, pray tell, could median wage earners afford to live in any home they wished? Were median wage earners able to live in mansions? Anywhere they wished? Of course not. Because it has never, ever been the case in American history that "100% of housing" were affordable to someone with median income. "And you are, again, confusing a preference " No, I am not. You, however, seem to be confused as to your own claims. Why don't you slow down and re-read what you wrote -- it's completely ridiculous.
