Except this is not comparable to most of the 70s at all.
Household leverage and disposable income change how serviceable debt is at different rates.
The numbers I saw puts a 2021 mortgage rate of 3% at an equivalent benchmark rate "in your pocketbook feels" as a 6% rate in pre gfc 2007.
Are you sure 10% doesn't warrant the same emergency as the high-teens of the 70s?
