Yeah, I've seen this on social media-when you want to perpetuate the "look how hard young people have it in this crazy market" narrative, you post a listing of a detached house with a yard that is in a downtown adjacent neighborhood in an expensive major city and represent that a house Joe Average should be able to buy.
There's actually a City Nerd video on this where he goes around and finds nice places in this price range in cool cities.
Even in California, there are bargains. But if you’re looking for perfect, good luck. There is still affordable housign even in hot markets like dallas, Atlanta and Phoenix
Seems like this maybe affecting you personally. My guess is apples to apples college towns are pricier than their peers
As pointed out in my earlier post with links, it's factual and not some wild guess. Unless weirdly enough the average college town apartment has less square feet, apples to apples they're less expensive than peer cities. I have researched it extensively and would welcome any factual information that supports your guess.
Tyler is a great place to live. It's clean, professional, and has plenty to offer. It's 1.5 to 2 hours to DFW if you feel you must go there, but I've lived here for nearly 30 years and I only go to Dallas about once or twice a year.
Twin Cities. My last 1BR with h/hw included was $895 in a "desirable" part of St. Paul. Moved out a week ago. Now it's an old building and you might have to go to the laundromat but it's doable.
Others are:

-San Antonio
-Ohio's 3 Cs
