Yup. And people keep posting from the hottest markets in the US. “I can’t believe the prices in Palo Alto!” Live in a rural area and have a shitty commute like the rest of us.
The main driver of the “I’ll never be able to buy a house” narrative are mortgage interest rates, which are transient. When rates go back down, people will suddenly be able to afford many more options. But yeah, every now and then I look at how much house I could buy in Michigan…

Please keep spreading this narrative. Gotta keep housing prices down. Got an awesome price on my new house several years ago.
