    Show me the place where you can both earn the $100k AND afford the homes

    That was your original comment. I listed off major cities with decent supplies of housing stock available below 500k

    You responded

    How many $100k jobs am I going to find in Milwuakee and Detroit?

    As well as pointing out that

    median household income in Pittsburgh is in the low $60k

    I pointed out that major cities tend to have high paying jobs available for highly skilled workers. You specified working in tech and demanded real world data, so I provided real wage data showing tech jobs and highly skilled jobs paying over 100k and in the interest of fairness I included some where the median isn’t a full 100k but many workers in that field do make over 100k.

    So in conclusion, I listed off major cities where one can both make 100k and afford homes. Let’s not move the goal posts anymore please.

      Exactly one comment earlier, we have you stating your case as a broad generalization:

      Lots of homes are *easily* affordable with that income. Buy elsewhere.

      Now you want to claim that as long as the 99.99th percentile can satisfy your claim, it’s valid. Who’s moving the goalposts, here?
