While Hy-Vee pisses me off to no end, we can agree they likely pay their people better including better benefits (and benefits even for part time employees).
There is an existing inflation thread. I'd recommend posting in that one.
Yeah, it's $4.99 currently on sale. Their regular price is $8.49. Fareway is $8.99...
My son just started there, no I won't agree with you.
What's that sign say?!?
No bare feet.
No. This sign!
No fighting
What's that mean?
No fighting
Why are you using the summer of 2020 as your baseline? That's an odd choice.
No kidding, that's the depth of Covid when prices were dropping. There are morons that are using oil/gas prices from that time as a baseline.
Big regular price difference, $6.89 vs $4.48. There is a 12% difference in cost for the same peanut butter.

Trying to steer things back on track, I thought I would share this study about the underproduction of housing on a state-by-state basis and what that means for real estate markets --
There no need to read it. They have a nice map summarizing their calculation of housing undersupply by state. Their metrics actually put Iowa in a relatively good supply/demand mixture --
California is short almost a million housing units. Eek.

This is a housing thread - housing prices spiked in late 2020. How is that an odd choice?

The numbers are meaningful, and I’d like to see it presented as a percent of total population as well.Trying to steer things back on track, I thought I would share this study about the underproduction of housing on a state-by-state basis and what that means for real estate markets --

Divided housing undersupply by state population --
Or if you prefer a ranked table. Iowa is #40 on the list between Montana and South Carolina.

A lot of towns around me are buying up the trailer house parks and then throwing in ordinances to prevent them from coming in. Even though they end up as an eye site, it is usually the cheapest housing alternative out there.
They also will put restrictions on house sizes to bump up the tax bases. Nearly every source is at fault here.

MN is probably a surprise to me as far as the top ten gut feel.
HI is certainly interesting.
Homes "unaffordable" in 99% of nation for average American
Home prices have jumped so much that Americans must pay a third of their income on housing, according to one study.

Was in St Louis, Ballwin, the past few days at my son's house in an older subdivision. Nice two story homes, 3/4 BR, 3 BTh (1 each level) finished basement and attached 2 stall garage. 80's built. Not big lots. He purchased about 10 years ago in the $3's. Saw a for sale sign on a hoiuse and I asked him what it was priced at and he said "guess" I said $450,000. He said it sold for $100,000 over list for $635,000 and it was all cash, the buyers did not finance it.
