economics have been largely unpredictable since the industrial revolution. i have no idea what the situation will look like in 1-3 generations when the largest gen dies off, declining birth rate, etc it does suck for a large number of young people who have no hopes of ever owning a home close to jobs.

Even current rates notwithstanding, this is a bafflingly high price for a region of 5 million people, statistically 90-95% of have no hope of affording prices that high without some external wealth (e.g. parents).
