Well in a software company salary is generally the dominating factor, so it is on the order of what you mentioned (times a multiple depending on how cushy the amenities). In my unqualified estimation, the multiple can kill you... seems like

This is a fantastic analysis, but one also needs to think about the less quantitative benefits of home ownership. Owning a home gives you equity in your community because your economic outcome is tied to the neighborhood. In fact, home owne
