The comparisons are not apples to apples. You have Singapore where you took only the resale segment of public housing, you have hong kong data set which includes both public and private housing, and the restrictions on hk public housing resale are more restricted than that of singapore.

And this is just the two countries I'm more familiar with. I don't have much confidence if you are using the right comparison for US if the two out of two I'm familiar with are wrong

This is also not accounting for the fact that comparatively, the other cities may be starting from a more expensive point in 1990

Yeah, this would look totally different if you started it at 2000 instead.

This also doesn't show how unaffordable the cities were to begin with. They all start at the same number when NYC could have started out significantly higher and not increased as much in this time period.
