If after WWII you were freaked out about living in the city as a nuke target and wanted to get away to a nice rural retreat, farm land was (adjusted for inflation) about $600 per acre (1950) whereas in the same inflation adjusted dollars it was $2,200 per acre around 2011. Same for housing beyond the land costs- about $9K per year spent in 1950 on housing and comparable housing costs about $15K per year now in inflation adjusted dollars. In short, the same game plan in 1950 (or 1960, or 1970) for a rural retreat was affordable to a lot more people in the past. Now, that same model costs too much for most citizens, even before you factor in all the new techno toys. So, if you are pushing the same game plan, you have to target people who can afford it.
