Would it be expected for the median worker to be able to afford a median priced home? Most people buy homes these days with 2 incomes and therefore homes are priced (square footage, amenities, land value) for such income levels.
- vertex-four 8y agoOf course, then you have a societal problem in that you’re tying people’s ability to keep a roof over their head to their ability to correctly find a partner they can be with for multiple decades.
- EADGBE 8y agoThere are a slew of people out there who can keep a healthy relationship with someone much easier than keep a job. I'd venture to say that most people find benefit in finding a life partner. Hence why they keep doing it (even multiple times). Of course, once someone finds someone else I suppose one should ceremoniously back down and stay home in order to conform to other norms.
