If we reduced the cost of housing by 1% you could buy more oats than you can eat. Even if the oats doubled in cost.

Pay rise without housing going up by as much or more would also have a similar result.

Yeah no shit, but the price of housing keeps going up and the price of oats keeps going up. Both things are getting worse now, whereas before housing was expensive but you could at least still afford to eat.
