What an A-hole. Guess he can’t afford a saw.

And those damn screws.

            The main driver of the “I’ll never be able to buy a house” narrative are mortgage interest rates, which are transient. When rates go back down, people will suddenly be able to afford many more options. But yeah, every now and then I look at how much house I could buy in Michigan…

            Yup. And people keep posting from the hottest markets in the US. “I can’t believe the prices in Palo Alto!” Live in a rural area and have a shitty commute like the rest of us.

      One of the issues with that is that unless you are WFH, you would very likely have to find another job that is commutable. With local salaries more of less being intertwined with the housing, (see cost of living) the new job would also very likely put you in the same position you started with.
