bringing up the USA is like comparing apples to organges, just like it is comparing incomes here in certain areas to incomes in other areas vs real estate prices, cost of living, number of kids.
in ohio you can buy a house for 30 grand, 50 grand, 100 grand.
imagine a family income of 150k there paying that for a house with lower cost of living and its where you grew up and family and friends were.
personally you couldn't pay me a million a year to live there but bringing up american real estate prices to justifying middle class welfare cuts in australia is just stupid
