> live in an expensive metro area (SF, LA, NYC) + Seattle, Vancouver, Toronto, Miami, Austin, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam... Pick any large city worldwide, and they are "expensive metro areas" with a high cost of living where if you want a 2 bedroom condo you're looking at 750K, and a house is 1M. Turns out software multi-nationals paying $150k+ are in the same cities. So, you do the math, how long does it take to save up for a down payment while paying through the roof on rent?
