the guy who makes $100k here – what does he make there? $50? I’m assuming a local job, not someone self employed over the internet who makes the same regardless of where they live…. your average person has to work somehwere, and in general, incomes seem to vary with regions – cost of living varies.. etc.
housing in CA may be way overpriced, but part of why it costs more is that jobs here sometimes tend to pay better than say a job in Arkansas….where that 475k house cost 100k..
