That was your original comment. I listed off major cities with decent supplies of housing stock available below 500k
You responded
As well as pointing out that
I pointed out that major cities tend to have high paying jobs available for highly skilled workers. You specified working in tech and demanded real world data, so I provided real wage data showing tech jobs and highly skilled jobs paying over 100k and in the interest of fairness I included some where the median isn't a full 100k but many workers in that field do make over 100k.
So in conclusion, I listed off major cities where one can both make 100k and afford homes. Let's not move the goal posts anymore please.
Exactly one comment earlier, we have you stating your case as a broad generalization:
Now you want to claim that as long as the 99.99th percentile can satisfy your claim, it’s valid. Who’s moving the goalposts, here?
What are you even arguing anymore? Is it that important to "win" at this random internet argument?
Here you are, doing the same thing. Ask yourself.
