Would you pay $160K for this and live in it?

Hell no.

I bought a $179k house in Helena, AL (nice Birmingham suburb) back in 2009. It was a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house with a finished basement. About 2400 square feet. Nice dining room. Breakfast area in a kitchen with plenty of counterspace. Our master bedroom had a walk-in closet, a dual vanity bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. A walk in shower. 1 full acre in the backyard alone. Nice front yard. Good neighborhood. I don't really remember the interest rate, but it was below 4%.

That house was 22 minutes from downtown Birmingham.

The Elm Trails house is 19 minutes from the city center of San Antonio. Probably paying way more per month than my first house considering Texas property taxes and interest rates.

What the hell is happening to the world?

It's absurd what's happened to housing costs.
