Rumors of the death of civilization have been greatly exaggerated. While it's true that failed progressive policies have ruined housing affordability in a handful of coastal metropolitan areas, it's still possible for elementary school teachers to own their own home in many other parts of the country. Try other states like Utah, Idaho, or Michigan.

I think the issue is that elementary school teachers, like nurses and doctors, are a core job of any city or town. So it should be affordable for them to live in the town they work in.

Then you'd have to live in Utah, Idaho, or Michigan. There are good reasons those houses are cheap.

I don't understand your comment. What's wrong with living in those states?
