No class envy involved, but the premise that a $500,000+ house is NEEDED to provide security and the space to raise a family is not true.

And I am well aware of the difference in real esate markets. My aunt and uncles previous home in Palo Alto California was nearly $2,000,000 and was 2/3rds the square footage of my parents $90,000 home in upstate NY. Their new home is a monster and over $6,000,000. Being big giant left wing liberals, if I ever hear them bitch about taxes I will smack them.

In that part of NY, that's about the least you'll have to spend if you want to live in a half-assed decent school district/low crime area. Believe it.

I would advise the poster to move to another part of the country like I did. The leftists in states like NY and CA won't be happy until they tax their residents into the third world
