Everyone can buy whatever home they can afford. That’s how it works, and that’s how it essentially will always work. Home values exist on a spectrum in which less desirable homes in less desirable areas cost less and more desirable homes in more desirable areas cost more. It’s never going to change. If you want to buy something, you have to pay for it. Sometimes that means taking a job you don’t love because you want the paycheck or doing something else you don’t want to do, but that’s life. Sometimes that means some homes or even some neighborhoods will always be out of reach, but that too is life. Some of you do sound a bit entitled.  [/quote]

That's nice.

Also nice: if there were more housing in [that area where you don't want there to be more housing], so that more people would be able to buy (or rent) a home they can afford in that area.[/quote]

Your issue is that you feel entitled to buy into the neighborhood that you apparently can't afford.  Welcome to the real world!!  I can't afford to buy a horse farm in Middleburg, but so far I have survived.[/quote]
