“ALBANY — As he tells it, Randall Hinton is paid $93,803 a year to do nothing.
He spends much of his workday at the State Insurance Fund donning headphones, listening to rock ‘n’ roll, blues or classical tunes and his superiors are cool with that.
His work agenda involves placing his feet up on his desk, staring out his office window and counting cars on the New York State Thruway. He arrives at 7:30 a.m., leaves at 3:30 p.m., sees no one and talks to no one.
He never does any work. It’s been this way for Hinton for most of this decade.

Since February 2002, Hinton has been director of investigations for the Insurance Fund, but he said he has never been allowed to investigate anything. Instead, he builds up pension credits, year after year, but is unproductive at work because his superiors are blackballing him, he and his former boss say………….”

ParticipantI think the article has a great global housing overview but it doesn’t address the family budget relation to the ratios…
As Cooprider stated – families tend to live together, smaller houses, more taxes, less debt.
USA/we couldn’t afford anything over these numbers due to the amount of debt for our lifestyle. (mandatory car/family member, schools that are extremly expensive, health care ….etc).
