Random notes on a Friday:
Home prices should/historically/affordable/middle class family be 2.5 times median income with a 5-6% mortgage.
F.I.R.E. all make stable money, and families can live well.
Either prices fall or incomes rise to equilibrium.
The house I grew up in now has annual property taxes of $25k.
Everything else is fantasy land, from a time long ago, and a land far far away.
And no, noone should buy a shell in Detroit for $100.
Where do you live?
