        That’s because the prices of homes are too high? I don’t think understand what you’re saying. Next you’re going to tell me San Francisco is a poor city. A fixer upper in Seattle is around 800k for the land. Most homes start at around 1 million. Does that sound poor to you?

          Most Seattleites can’t afford to own a home; they rent.
