Are you in a tech job? As long as you stay the course and pay attention to basic financial best practices you will get to a point where owning a house is a reality. Tech pays well and we’re not even close to the thresholds of struggle and poverty with even an average or below average tech salary.
You’re basically looking at peak market frenzy right now combined with a rush to buy before rates go up (even more) and an almost empty housing inventory because nobody wants to sell right now. Just wait and it will revert toward (although maybe not all the way to) the mean.

I don’t know what material you’re reading, but I’d suggest re-evaluating some of the hyperbolic content that leads to make such claims.
