You can afford to pay more for a larger home but can't afford double the tax? That doesn't make sense. The mortgage jump should be a bit a lot more than the tax

You can afford to pay more for a larger home but can't afford double the tax? That doesn't make sense. The mortgage jump should be a bit a lot more than the taxes considering market moves. I think the new tax regime has more to do with tax unaffordability than the actual tax rate.
