At the national median price you'd be lucky to get a mobile home on a very tiny lot where I live in California. And a condominium is even more. I know elderly people with single family homes that are paid for, but the valuation is so high, that if their property taxes were based on current value, they'd take their entire social security or disability income.
These are people that worked and saved all of their lives.
Some low wage earners are forced to share apartments to avoid being homeless. Working full time at minimum wage is getting to where it isn't enough even for rent.
Conservatives complain about businesses covering any part of health care cost. Look at an area like Santa Barbara and you'll find businesses having trouble getting low-wage employees because they can't afford to live in the area?
Are they expected to live a dozen people to a house?
