You raise a valid point, but I contend that the rise of two-income families was one of the causes of the inflated cost of living in this country (by driving up demand), not a result of it.

If half of our current workforce decided to quit their jobs tomorrow, that $400,000 suburban home would probably only cost $200,000.

Your contention is precisely that of the Rockford Institute's (back when Allan Carlson ran it--a reliable guy.)
