My salary didn’t change at all, but homes went up 82%. The money I saved for a down payment and my salary no longer are good enough for this home and many others. This ain’t even a “good” home either. It was a 200k meh average ok home before. Now it’s simply unaffordable
You’ve never been to a rural area of the country, have you? I traveled to Idaho recently and good fuck was it boring. Hiking is fun for a few days, but then there’s 20 degree weather, snow, ice, hail, poor Internet that’s basically DSL so you can’t play any games or access the Internet. People live within 50 miles of cities for their own sanity
I’ve lived in them almost exclusively.
