OP trying to stoke them class divisions between the almost middle class and the sort of middle class. Damn them for almost making enough to afford somewhat desirable real-estate. The policy failures of the "free market" (and the corrupt tax and political systems) are the ~2k billionaires vs. the declining real purchasing power of those at the midpoint and below over the past 70-80 years. Employees who make $400k+/yr have insane time and performance expectation demands. There are many employees who will not take the next IC level because they have families (time constraints) and/or don't want the stress. I work at megacorp MAANG where not everyone can afford baller real estate despite being Sr. SWE/SRE/PE/etc. I currently cannot. The past year, the buyers in the local real estate market were throwing ~20-40% over list because there was virtually no supply.
