If I spent all my money ($450,000) on a new house I could buy a house with 4500 square feet. I settle for a 1500 square foot house. (Each square foot costs the same.) The day after I close the deal a nearby nuclear power plant is condemned and the value of homes in the entire area is cut in half. Show graphically what happens to my utility level and explain why the result is plausible. Put numbers on your graph showing the wealth and housing possibilities after the housing prices fall.
