Then someone is buying way too much house!


How much house can you get for $60,000 (1.5 times the average salary in the
U.S.)?

Well obviously it depends upon where you live... you couldn't buy a
house in Kalifornia for $60,000 but in other places of the country
you could.

There are very livable homes in every state for $60k,,,,, but you said 10
time retard,,,, can't you follow your own posts???

Besides, you are either to ignorant or to impatient to accept the fact, that
in every state - you can buy a $60k home, live in it for 10 years, and
usually trade up with your equity, and have a $100k to $120k home for the
same monthly payment. So quit whining, and living in France on hand outs
from you friends. Life is still very livable for those who CHOOSE to live
it.

Yes. Ten times the average salary is $400,000, and it's very easy to find
communities in which this is the starting price for admission. If it's worth
living there at all, the price skyrockets.

That's exactly the sort of practice that has made home ownership inaccessible
for so many people today. It's all a matter of greed.

Yeah, your greed. You want to sit on your butt and make no contribution, and
expect a $400k home to be given to you.

Poor baby, I should have known you couldn't follow the thread.

That's how supply and demand works, chump.

But ... what does this have to do with aviation?

I suppose there might be a few people willing to live on the edge of Death
Valley or the summit of Mount Washington.

Or you realize than the United States is more than LA, Chicago, and New York.

I was looking at an airpark in Arizona with a 3 year old, three bedroom
house, private hanger, and access to the runway for $220K outside a
smallish town with a WalMart and all the other normal stuff.

Hardly the "edge of Death Valley".

I thought the uS always used median and let the people confuse it
with average. Have they changed?
