[quote=Anonymous]Couple quick points interesting discussion

Again in DC a 200k HHI for two college graduates or one person if you do the have one focus solely on career is what it takes to be sustainable in the DC area

Again there are tons of places in the country for people that aren't going to reach those thresholdes no shame in that except probably the DC area doesn't make economic sense for you to live here

I agree child care costs are expensive here but remember they are temporary (along with student loans) and your income is going to keep going up over time while the mortgage stays much more flat.  Point being for many people it is tight in the beginning but it gets easier over time

And finally to the $15 per hour poster.  1 that's a minimum wage people should be aspiring to move up in their career and 2 see point 1 the DC area has a very high cost of living.  People don't have the right to live anywhere in the country especially if they are content with a minimum wage and no thought of moving up and improving themselves.  But even if people still want to make those choices there are tons of places across the country where decent housing is still under 100-150k and it can work just not in HCOL of living areas like Seattle, SF, LA, Denver, Boston, NYC and DC
