    I disagree, lots of things are much cheaper and worse.

    Clothes are much cheaper and far worse. Power tools are generally a lot cheaper bit also built to break.

    Houses are somehow more expensive AND lower quality though.

      Lower quality? Modern houses here (Canberra, Australia) typically have all the energy stars (compared to my '70s place’s half a star), are much larger and are proof against termites

      A 2026 house beats mine in every respect
