I don’t know enough about all of this to give a good answer, but I wish I knew.

Do I think inflation-adjusted wages rising at a somewhat slower rate than in the recent past hits households hard? My guess is that for most it does not. But that’s not really the point, which is that this particular graph is a weak argument for the existence of an affordability crisis

I’m not saying there isn’t an “affordability crisis,” but how is that demonstrated by a graph that shows real wages increasing?

I lived in Brooklyn for about 25 years. I think it’s great. But I find it strange that you think it’s on everyone’s wishlist as a place to live.

The point is that the coasts aren’t the only places with high demand.

“The idea that if Brooklyn rents were at Dallas or Houston levels anyone would still choose Dallas or Houston over Brooklyn is kind of insane.”

Also, Honolulu is 4th on the list of highest median house prices, one ahead of Brooklyn, Lake Havasu, AZ, is ahead DC, San Diego, and Seattle, etc.

So because demand is highest in these areas, that means everyone wants to live there? Does that really make sense to you?

Dallas is the fastest growing metro area in the country. Houston is, I think, a close second. There’s no zoning laws in Houston, so the city is free to sprawl, creating more housing. NYC cant expand.

And yet, Dallas (the fastest growing metro area in the country) and Houston (not far behind) have plenty of wealthy people who could afford to live in Brooklyn if they wanted to.

She’s just trolling. And not very well. I suggest disengaging.

He’s never had a “real job” because he’s never (you assume) experienced any of a litany of misfortunes. Great deductive work!
