> It is available outside the coastal cities if you have a coastal city salary. That kind of defeats the purpose.

This is false, why would you think this? My youngest sister makes $70k and bought a 3br/2ba house with a 2 car garage for $215k that’s 20 mins from where she works. That is in just a random medium city in the Midwest.

I have another friend who works in San Antonio. Got his house for $300k and makes $90k as a SWE.

Housing is seriously just an isolated problem in particular hot spots. Unless you need to be there, get the fuck out. The governments are broken.
