[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was easier to afford a single family house back then for sure. You could buy a house in Bethesda in the 1960’s on the equivalent of an 80k salary in 2024 dollars. Everything is less affordable now than before. Doesn’t matter that the average house is bigger now because we don’t have the option of a tinier brand new house close in to the city anymore. Everything new is branded is “luxury” which massively jacked up prices, even cars. You now need to earn $300,000-400,000 in the DC region to even think about buying a home that isn’t a condo or townhouse. Standard of living is less than it was before. [/quote] According to posters they make more than $300,000 so it appears the salaries have increased just as rapidly as housing. [/quote]
