This is pretty much Dave Ramsey's main shtick, giving massively overextended Americans dispensation to do the entirely logical thing, but in a face-saving way. "Thank God one day God spoke to me through a guy like that and granted a Caucasian like myself the gift of not living entirely off credit, ego, and cocaine. It was truly a Christmas miracle.."

I mean, are we calling like anything in a blue state with a population bigger than 2000 a trendy city now? I want to buy in my rural home town and can't afford it, unless Williamsburg is now trendy somehow

Not every leftist is miffed they can't live in stuffy ol' Boston, anyway. Yeah I'm kind of miffed I also couldn't afford to live there 20 years ago. I don't feel I'm missing out on much as of 2022.
