They should have also included some rural areas' home buying prices for perspective against the absurd cost of living in a large city.

Here's my data to add to the list: bought my house last decade in a rural area, while I was making about $45000 annually, mortgage cost per month is literally off the chart at under $800/mo.

What the fuck America is so Goddamned cheap.

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.
