    Property prices correlate strongly with local income levels. Owners know how much you make and they fix prices of wages, rent and other cost.

    Hence why u can make objectively high income and feel like a peasant.

    Buying power is eroded to the point where 100k is just getting by wage in Seattle or some shit
