No, this is true almost everywhere. Wages are low in comparison to housing cost. If the poster was living and working where houses are cheaper than SF, then his salary would also be lower and he would still be limited to bottom tier housing on his income.

The only way possible right now is to own real estate by inheritance or by having been born earlier to get in before those people who decided to be born later. Either that or you have to find a way to get your income from somewhere different to where you live, so that you can afford property. With WFH normalised I'm predicting massive migration waves as the younger generations from expensive towns, cities and countries move away to where they can afford to live.
