Moving far away to where houses are more affordable may, as this fellow says, be the move but there are all kinds of costs (familial, cultural etc) associated with that. People are from somewhere specific and for a lot of people that means a lot.

Also note: 1) he writes of “household income” which by necessity (taxes, asset inflation) has gone from a single income (1960) to fully dual income today. And 2) his definition of affordability is all about the monthly payment instead of the price. The mindset is all about credit (usury) which is the very system that drives asset prices through the roof and creates wage slaves.

I’ve run some budgets for families with working wives and they would have been better off with her not working.

If people lack the independence to go where the work and houses are then they should face their decisions and recognize the real reasons they can’t buy a home.
