> all cars are now luxury cars

Well, first, that's not true. There are plenty of economy cars being sold. I see them all the time. But even so, look at what's sold as "luxury cars" these days. Most of them (including Teslas!) would not have been considered luxury cars a few decades ago.

> Also houses are twice as big now.

Size is not an indicator of quality.

> Clearly capitalism doesn't always mean a race to the bottom.

I never said it did. I'm commenting on how things are going in the US, not commenting on the concept of capitalism at all.
