- adam_arthur 4y agoThe person who was directly responded to said: "Housing prices aren’t included in the inflation basket of goods." Which is correct. What was said up thread is irrelevant. If you want to correct him for stating that as off topic or misconstruing the parent comment, that's fine. But spreading misinformation about home prices being included in CPI is not. Again, nobody is implying "rents" when they say "housing prices".
