You can check here but their median house price calculation is something like this

  public double calculateMedianHousePrice() {
    return (calculateMedianHousePriceCityCentre() + calculateMedianHousePriceOutsideOfCentre()) / 2;
  }

> Price to Income Ratio is the basic measure for apartment purchase affordability (lower is better). It is generally calculated as the ratio of median apartment prices to median familial disposable income, expressed as years of income (although variations are used also elsewhere). Our formula assumes and uses: > * net disposable family income, as defined as 1.5 * the average net salary (50% is assumed percentage of women in the workforce) > * median apartment size is 90 square meters > * price per square meter (the formula uses) is the average price of square meter in the city center and outside of the city center

Not sure where they pulled these numbers from for NL; but looking at the median income (around 38k gross) and the average price for an appartment (multiplier 9.8) or a single family home (multiplier 11.8) I don't see how one could reasonably come to a factor of 7.19 in the graph.

Because I'm these examples the unintended consequences are that you get younger generations who are more supportive of policies like increased public transportation options and sustainable development.

I obviously don't think that the two examples mentioned here are the sole driver of these shifts in viewpoints, but they are certainly part of the soup.
