Dude what you posted is a home built in the 50s/60s that was the quintessential middle class home. Now that should be too much for todays middle class? Why?
Then move to a smaller town, or even a little outside of town, where real estate prices are more affordable.
Look, I know it sucks for young people right now. I have a 22 year old son working his arse off right now trying to get ahead and start his life. I remember being in my early 20s, fresh out of the army and trying to get started. That trailer I showed you above, I had one just like it for several years. That was my first house. I had it on a little piece of rented land about 8 miles outside of town. It wasn’t the greatest place. I didn’t have nice furniture or all the comforts we take for granted today. I didn’t even cable. But I made it work. I saved what I could until I was able to afford a nicer brick home. Then I kept saving until I could afford to move back into town in a nice subdivision where I’ve raised a family. It took me almost 15 years to get here. It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t always fun. It took a lot of sacrifice and going without. But I did it. There is nothing special about me. I had no help. I don’t even have family I could fall back on. I had to do it all myself. If I can do it, anyone can do it if they try hard and stick with it.

50 years ago Americans could live just about anywhere and with a solid job could build wealth with real estate
Now you have to move to the middle of nowhere or fallen broken towns to do so. You don’t see that as a problem?

That's great until it's time to sell it and you can't.
