I have a client who can’t even build a modest home on spear st. For less than 4 million.

I think your client and the rest of the world have different opinions on the word "modest"

I am not sure, but I think mrgrey's point was maybe that what once only cost a few hundred thousand to build now costs in the millions... Certainly still not talking about a middle-income single family home perhaps, but the cost to build a comparable home to what already exists on Spear Street is far-and-away above what it used to cost even as recently as a decade ago.
