keep in mind that a married couple can combine incomes.
it'd be damn hard to afford a mortgage on your own but two people can make it work quite comfortably
it's possible, with the GDP we have right now, for every single american to afford a home. Americans have been propagandized into thinking that we need a billionaire class, that they need bailouts and tax cuts and no oversight, that they should be able to get away with murder in the courts, more than they need a safe place to rest their heads at night. My heart is broken for them. I wish everyone were as angry as me.
