One thing is just consumerism being retarded. People get used to a "higher standard" of living and then can't give it up. Housing thing especially is market manipulation, immigration, and restrictions on actually building them.

But a big thing too is that people adjust to the norm, and labour competes with labour. If you have women competing with men in the market place then there's 2x as much labour and 50% as much pay, and the thing you get in exchange is: cheaper consumables (yay!)
