I think a lot about how the University of California system was free (to residents) before Reagan. It was only $282/semester for me in Washington State then.

Reagan had a lot of help. The boomers have a lot to answer for as well.

For reference for those not old enough, in Seattle area, I (& roommate) paid $325/mo for a 2bd/1bth in the early 80's and minimum wage was around $3.60 or something an hour.

@juliewebgirl @wa7iut @godzero @ukuku @pluralistic when i moved to Seattle in 2014 my room was $550 a month.

And you could find a cheap house for $300k. Almost triple that now.
