- rayiner 3y agoYikes at that guy losing a $110k deposit on a house after he got fired from Amazon. Major metro housing prices are a boot on your neck. When my wife and I bought our house in 2016 it was more than an hour commute each way, but it cost less than our annual income. Next door was an abandoned house with raccoons and a fox living in it. But the other day I was at the local university and saw a basement 1BR apartment (in DC) being advertised for the same as my mortgage on a 3BR house.
