Eggs are such a red herring. I pay $6 for eggs. You know how much I’d save with eggs at half price? A whopping $12 a month. Meanwhile my rent goes up by 10x that a year and thats with rent control. Everyone gets all bent out of shape about the price of gas and the price of food but that could realistically double and you’d only be out another what $200 a month or so. No its the rent that is the squeeze for most people not the eggs being $6 and the gas being $5. But of course that is the headlines and not the focus on the lack of housing supply due to restrictive zoning.

You mean 10%? 10x is just not believable.


No, like the montly rate might go up by $120 a month or more each year which is 10x $12.


but there are 12 months in a year so eggs outweigh rent here


$120 a month >>> $12.
