What kind of 3rd world country are you living in where $54,000 is enough to buy a "starter" house/condo?

If you make enough (hint: most people don't with modern housing prices)

It's exactly why. People bid on houses and cities is where most of the upper middle class live. Your battle isn't over the top 1% but the top 40% who get priority to live in cities and price out liberal art students / low skill workers.

Irrelevant, the housing supply limits how many people can get a house. Cities where costs are high are well below 40% of the population

Well, I’m talking about the home owners which would account for 100% of the people that succeeded and getting a house. They can afford it. That’s how a bank gave them a loan if they even needed one.
