      Compare the median salaries in those places to chart, doesnt seem very cheap to me.

      I live in phoenix.

      Less than 7% of people make enough to buy a home per this chart.

      That’s not home price, that’s salary requirements.a house in San Jose costs $1.6 million, not $375 thousand. You’re paying about $9 thousand a month before taxes.

      Huh? A typical salary here couldn’t afford any of these. 0.

      We’ve literally made our society completely dependent on marriage/dual income. For those of us that are perpetually single and don’t have a WFH tech job that could go anywhere, homeownership is as obtainable as a unicorn.
