because there are lots of good jobs paying six figures there. land prices go for a percentage of incomes, always. you probably need to go back to your employer and say that you aren't being adequately compensated. I'm confused why you think you are making great money if it doesn't afford you a modest home? these companies are making huge amounts off our backs and they either need to pay more or they need to move the jobs elsewhere. until employees start being more demanding it won't happen.
- burlesona 7y agoBecause I can afford mediocre housing and put 50-100k per year in savings, which to me is a lot of money. However, when the townhome next door sells for $4 million, that savings rate isn’t getting me anywhere (here) very quickly. And thus I’m playing the same game everyone else I know here is playing: stockpile savings that are worth a little here and in a few years take them somewhere that they’re worth a lot.
