Exactly. People did talk about how homes on TV in the 1980s were unreasonably large, but the idea that Al Bundy's family or Roseanne's family couldn't have a house at all was not even one people considered. Because of course you could afford a house.

Also, you could afford a house at this time with only one person working in the couple. The wife usually stayed at home until they progressively all went to work.
