[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a person making over 150k can't even afford an old house in the dmv with good schools? What about the singles making 50 to 80k? What can they afford? A shack or tent in the woods here? [/quote] They rent.[/quote] What? a one bedroom apartment for $2500? Renting isn't cheaper.[/quote] A studio apartment. A TH in an unfashionable neighborhood. Roommates. You do what people do the world over when priced out of their dream home. You compromise on size, location, and fanciness. Here's one for under $100k - https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5000-Call-Pl-SE-APT-203-Washington-DC-20019/88798141_zpid/ Two bedrooms for $124k: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2100-Fendall-St-SE-UNIT-1-Washington-DC-20020/68082158_zpid/ Do you want to live here? Maybe not! COULD you live there? Certainly. [/quote]
