Fair point. However, places like Sacramento, Denver, Houston, Austin and other large cities with quite a lot of jobs have great housing affordability compared

  It gets even more fascinating when you dig deeper. In Australia, your income covers your healthcare, education, etc. etc. In that states, you have to pay for that yourself.. so if you take that off "income", you have a good chunk less to spend on a mortgage. (I'm not saying houses in Australia are anything close to affordable, I'm saying it's much more complex and nuanced than "income vs. mortgage")
