You mean this fallacy?
"We all read that today's modern married couple has to have BOTH people with full-time jobs to even be considered in the US middle class. And recently the news media is talking about the house shortage and how rental units have their prices jacked up. A modern couple can NOT afford the DOWN PAYMENT on a home because the lack of NEW housing starts, which has driven the down payment to be in excess of what MOST middle-class citizens can POSSIBLY save up."
When we bought in our "wealthy suburban neighborhood", almost every single couple we knew both worked... I was considered the outlier, since my wife and I decided when we had kids, she would stay at home.
And new housing starts are only down a bit since the start of Covid and the VERY recent supply chain problems...
You need proof?
