K so what we're actually saying is everyone should be able to afford to live anywhere regardless of regional land/property values? I might actually agree with that but I'm pretty sure nobody's going to get behind building a trailer park in the Hamptons.

No, I wouldn't get behind it either. The median income (individual but I'd be fine with household) in an area should be enough to buy a starter home in that area. Until then, the area is underbuilt. The Bay Area pretending an apocalyptic flood of poor people will descend upon them when professionals making a (extremely sarcastic voice) _mere_ 100k stand a chance of buying is and will always be laughable.
So get a job delivering pizza in the Hamptons for 5 years, van life it, and retire to Appalachia a multi-millionaire? Sounds good to me.
