iirc, in the 90s you could still very much sell great sandwiches for around $5, get a decent $5000 car, and buy a simple flat for $50,000 outright (using a USD equivalent).

And that's a pricey sandwich!

@s_d_brath @donni minimum flat costs 20+ minimum cars, which cost 2000+ minimal sandwiches. And a minimal flat basically doesn't exist in many localities around the developed world.
