[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]200k and can't afford a house I'd actually want to live in. I consider us solidly middle class.[/quote] And you are deluded. Just because you have expensive tastes does not mean that you don't make more than 95% of the region and 98% of the nation. There are many, many single family houses that you can easily afford on your income and live a true middle class lifestyle. You want to have a house in a good schools district (premium) in a close-in (premium), walk-able (premium) neighborhood with good transit options (premium). The true middle class doesn't get to choose the nice house in best school district with easy commutes to work and metro in vibrant exciting neighborhoods. Middle class compromise, not just once, but often. They prioritize the things that are most important and get the most that they can afford. [/quote]
