 How many years of work is this as compared to the average salary in your city/town?

 i don’t know our exact average household income in this part of the city but I would guess that today it’s 6-9 years annual income vs. mortgage.  

not the 3-5 we had a decade ago.

 That is crazy, but California is about the same. A 20% down payment is now about 2 years salary for the average person. 

It appears most people haven't learned this yet. 

We hear about bullshit inflation numbers.

I don't think our rulers understand how fucked up things are for 80% of the population.
