Not really.. a median income for a family in the us was about 30k a year, a house costed on average 120k

In 2023 the median wage per family is close to 60k, with a median house price at 400k

Sure, housing price increased faster than a salary, but o, you could not work six months to a year in a factory and afford a house.. not even close

not sure how you can have an average maximum, but you do you.
