We’re sure this is fine. Let’s keep doing Bidenomics and not trying anything else.

The typical salary required nationwide for homeownership is now $106,500 — a 61% increase from the $59,000 required just four years ago, according to Zillow.

A Community Note points out that’s not a 61%, but 80.5%. Even better.

Very screwed.

High home prices are due to rampant inflation on literally everything, combined with lockdown-induced supply chain disruptions, massive insurance and utility spikes and, of course, historically high property taxes. All over just the last 3 years.

All 100% government-induced.

All on the shoulders of the government.

Have salaries increased 61% over 4 years to keep up? No

Nope.

I don’t understand how the Biden administration could say the economy is good when we have statistics like this.

This is in insane jump in price!

Gaslighting. That’s why.

This feels like a more realistic measure of inflation

It is. Which is why a lot of metrics are ignoring it.

Transitory

Sure. ‘Transitory’ indeed.

I’ve been told the economy is fine and I just need to budget better because I apparently waste money https://t.co/MHMpYXG0aW
