Anyone else see problems here? $30,000 income buys $316,000 house?

True affordability comes in the form of lower prices, not gimmicky mortgages or public grants which actually serve to keep prices high and entirely UN-affordable.

The very best thing that could happen to “poor people” is massive deflation of housing prices that leave enough money (after paying for housing costs) to allocate toward education, retirement funding and (gasp!) discretionary income.

A primary house is an EXPENSE, it is not “The American Dream.” The American Dream is the ability to improve one’s lot in life and end up in a better situation than where you started.

I’m a liberal, economically-speaking, and am totally opposed to anything that serves to prop up prices so they remain unaffordable to the working class.

CA renter– I am not a liberal, but I agree with you about the American dream. The dream, or maybe I should say ideal, of this country was that there was no class system and through hard work a person could make a better life for himself, usually by obtaining an education and a profession, but sometimes just by sheer will. I am also opposed to artificially propping up the prices. The market should be driving the prices, not the politicians.
