Just pull up stakes, say goodbye to all of your friends and family including all of your kids’ friends, rent a moving van, find a new temporary place for your stuff and a temporary place for you and your family to sleep, find a new job, then buy a house. Why is that so hard?
Oh! That’s was easy. I just found my $200,000 down payment and credit in a jacket I forgot about.
Maybe you should look in cheaper areas.
Supply and demand applies to you, too :)
So if everyone up and moved to your shit hole town for cheap houses, what happens to the prices?
Everyone isn’t going to move to one town, so your question is pointless.
Just like your little anecdote
I replied to “stop renting” not “find more affordable rent”.
My point still stands.

Nobody said it would be easy.
To work at a Denny’s for minimum wage? Get real. The jobs are where housing is expensive.
So how do people live outside of major cities?
No work gets done? Lol.
I wouldn’t word it with absolutes, but yeah that sentiment is correct.
