Housing affordability is completely broken.

Atlanta Fed data: You need $120K+ annual income to afford a median-priced home.

Reality check: Median US household income is only $87,460.

That's a $32,540 gap. Most Americans are priced out of homeownership.

This is why people are looking at alternative wealth-building paths. Real estate gatekeeping is pushing more capital into crypto, high-risk plays, and anything that can close that gap faster than a 9-5.

The system isn't designed for the average person to win anymore.
