Which is weird since conservative politics is all about cutting funds for schools, gutting the department of education completely, no pre k or free lunches for kids, and getting rid of a large portion of our law enforcement. Just doesn't make sense why any one who cares about education or safety would be conservative
getting rid of a large portion of our law enforcement
I'm pretty certain neither party supports this. After 2020, every state and city, including dem-run ones increased police funding.
If you're talking about republicans complaining about the FBI because it went after Trump, they're just as likely to abolish prisons because some jan 6ers got convicted. These people like those institutions too much when they're doing their primary purpose of neutralizing leftist political movements.
Also you're not private property nor do you own significant capital. It's not your law enforcement.
That's an exaggeration. The median price for new construction in 1980 was $64,600. [1] As for existing housing stock, the median home value in 1980 was $47,200. [2] As housing prices are heavily right skewed, the prices of cheap housing is far closer to the median than the price of expensive housing. Based on a cursory overview of some charts, it seems like the bottom 20% of houses are no more that 30% cheaper than the median, putting them in the $30k range.

1975 =/= 1980. Looks like housing went up 64% in those 5 years from the data I already linked.

Data instead of anecdotes?

Curious, as the person who you were originally responding to deleted their comment. Is that per year or a one time expenditure?
Also, 36k is still literally 44-80% higher than your initial claim.

I'm disengaging.
