    The USA is huge variation but in my county median household income is $70k, median home price is $370k. It’s a rural area but with 2 cities within 40 miles or so. In my location travel north and income and house prices increase, travel south and they both decrease. My mortgage including taxes and insurance is $1,200 per month.

    That’s not even a question that has one answer in my neighborhood, much less the whole city. And the whole US? Forget it.

    I had a look and it so happens there are 2 properties for sale within a few hundred meters from me.

    € 200,000 for a one room apartment of 46 m²

    € 560,000 for a large apartment with balcony

    The nearest house costs a bit over € 1.2 million.

    I got lucky with a cheap apartment ~40m² for € 662/month (which is almost as much as minimum wage here btw). Renting till I die I guess 🤷

      That sucks! I feel for you and your fellow Argentinians.

      Does a typical football match cost a lot? I have always wondered that about the game in some of the countries where it is the most popular sporting event. How many professional leagues are there? Do you have a favorite?

    Ontario here. The numbers they report are the “average” but I call bullshit. Reality Average one bedroom apartment $2500, 2 bedroom basement $1800. Utilities extra. Buy a townhouse $700-$1m. Detached $1m+. We are so fucked.

    To be able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment one person must make around $80k a year. If you want to purchase a house, we’ll good luck unless your household income is over $200k and even then you’ll be scraping the bottom of the price barrel.

    I’m in a college town, so… it varies wildly. You could probably rent a crack shack 10 miles from campus for basically nothing.

    The floor for rent at a “decent” place is probably at least a grand. Actually buying a house? Who the fuck knows, but it’ll definitely be obscene.

    My university-owned apartment is $600 with a roommate, which is honestly a pretty good deal considering that utilities (including gigabit Ethernet!) are included.

    Inner eastern Melbourne, Australia. Properties are bought by Chinese investors (not racist, stating a fact) for AU$1-2 million, demolished, replaced with McMansions, sold for over AU$4 million. Within ten years these garbage concrete boxes are cracking and falling apart.

    Some suburbs look like McMansion ghettoes and are completely out of reach of ordinary people.

    Feel like numbeo is a good resource for this. Here in Dublin, Ireland it’s horrendously expensive
