You're deliberately ignoring what I actually wrote. Two high school grads working minimum wage jobs in 1960 could have been homeowners in about five years. There are hundreds of reasons why the ownership rate was lower in the past.
Could have been, but did not buy homes. Explain why
If you actually had an argument, you'd be able to present a variety of proof, instead of just posting the same graph over and over.
