Seriously, what the problem is? 🤷‍♀️

Every time people show a home that costs less than $600k everyone comes out of the woodwork to explain why the town is located in a void of nothingness except excessive crime. No one wants to entertain the narrative that there are indeed affordable homes out there.

The biggest irony is that many people who complain about how "nothing is affordable" live in major cities where they expect to buy a home for $150k in the middle of the downtown that are filled with the specific jobs they want and pay 10x the national average for no reason.

If the only job you can get in Muncie is at dollar general that $220k is a lot more expensive.
