Anyone who works full time should be able to purchase a home with AT MOST a quarter of their monthly income going towards rent/mortgage.
I don't care what the actual number is. It's about the wage to cost of living ratio.
Again, let me repeat this. ANY AND EVERY SINGLE FULL TIME JOB, NO MATTER THE EDUCATION OR SKILL REQUIREMENTS, need to meet this standard or we're a fucking barbaric monstrosity of a nation.
A high school drop out flipping burgers and dropping fry baskets for 40 hours a week should be able to BUY a home for a quarter of their monthly check.
I really want to drive home what I'm trying to say here.
