Americans are already screwed. I live in a place where the median income is $50k but the median house costs over $400k. The kids who were born here will not be able to live here once they move out. In fact there's plenty of people who are married, working professional jobs, and still living with their parents. And prices just continue to climb. I looked around for a place recently and the trailerpark craphole a few blocks from here (that's generally full of sex offenders) on the edge of society is charging $200k per trailer. It's absolutely insane.
