Reply to comment by DM-me-ur-tits-plz- in [OC] Ratio of Median Sale Price of Single-Family Homes to Per Capita Income, by Metro Area by thatdude333

I feel this. I don’t go on FB often but I’ve seen how people I went to HS with in central Ohio were able to buy houses in that area years ago in their mid 20s. I’m 30 now and it could take my partner and I another 10 years to afford even smallest of houses in the SF Bay Area where I currently live if we’re lucky. We’re seriously considering moving to the Midwest at this point. Wouldn’t trade getting to spend my 20s here in California for much though. It’s been a lot of fun, but it seems like it has become impossible for a lot of normal people to ever settle down here.

We're putting offers in on houses in Pittsburgh. We're looking in the best neighborhoods and a nice 2 bedroom 1 bath house is like 275K and whole foods is 5 minutes away. I love SD, but for us it's just not worth it anymore. I'm afraid we'll keep getting priced out of other markets too if we wait.
