TL;DR: Americans now need to make $120K a year to afford a typical middle-class life and qualify to purchase a home. Minimum.

I've been on redfin every day for the past year and there are no houses within an hour radius of me that are under 250k except dilapidated knockdowns. Then everything 250-350k needs 50-100k in work. It sucks ass.
