Reality
ParticipantThe shrinking products bother me most, because that’s an increase they’re trying to impose surreptitiously.
Examples: tuna cans from 6oz to 5oz, store brand yogurt from 8oz to 6oz, “half gallon” ice cream from 2 quarts to 1.75 quarts to now 1.5 quarts, Haagen Dazs pints now 14oz.
At least some toilet paper is narrower than before which was obvious when seeing some older and newer product stacked together. There are no doubt dozens of other products that have shrunk.

ParticipantWe’d need to know what the inflation rate on real estate in the U.S. as a whole was during the period to know if this is reasonable, but it is a decent stab at it.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=davelj][quote=sdrealtor] I graduated from a public school with 800 kids and 100 went ivy league. [/quote]
This is nitpicking but… are you sure about that? That seems implausibly high. Particularly for a public high school.[/quote]
If not 100, pretty darn close. More than 40 went to U of Penn alone. I believe about 90% went to college nearly all 4 year colleges. Even the most of the derelicts turned their lives around. At my 10 year reunion the biggest doper became a CPA. At the 20 year, the guy who made explosives and blew up toilets that got suspended? Went to community college, transferred to a 4 year college and was a physician.[/quote]
Maybe I missed it, but what school was this? Unless it’s a very elite private school these numbers don’t pass the smell test.
