The issue is wealth inequality - DINK households with 2 six figure incomes massively dwarf what’s possible for a regular American family (one breadwinner, 2.4 kids) - they’re the top 5% which isn’t Elon Musk territory, but as a group it’s distorting housing way more than a tiny amount of billionaires would

Fwiw I don’t think there’s anything inherently “wrong” with it, the market is a brutal mistress

And ultimately, the only way to let the regular American family buy a house is to build more houses. A desirable location, low density, and low cost. You get to pick two.
