Home Costs Drive Inflation in 1970s Housing Boom Slump
A United States Savings and Loan League report shows residential construction costs up 35.4 percent over five years to 1970, outpacing the 23.1 percent rise in consumer prices. In 1972, costs surged 9.8 percent while prices rose 3.3 percent, lifting the median new home price to 27,200. Mortgage disintermediation due to high interest rates worsens funding, and mobile homes fill the gap with about 600,000 single-family dwellings built in 1972, roughly one in three new units.

Alcatraz a haunting blend of ruin and history
The Rock draws visitors to a shell of its former glory, a maximum security prison with a brutal past. The 22 acre island, once home to criminals like Scarface Capone and Birdman of Alcatraz, offers stark views of San Francisco while revealing decay, riots, and a legacy of punishment.
