It's the official CPI for urban consumers. If you want to use the GDP deflator, be my guest. But they are the gold standards (no pun intended) to meausure inflation.
Hedonics and housing are hotly debated but there is no "manipulation" in the construction of the indices. Transparency and integrity are paramount at BEA, Commerce, and BLS.
