So took a stroll through these new up coming housing developments and price range from 100-250k depending on your choice.. i have to ask my self what in the heck does these people do for a living? I know we have the military, but even they dont pay enough to buy these houses, even the hospital doesnt pay that much. So what is paying you $20+ hour to afford these homes? I work in austin, but still just able to break even.. And i make 40k year.

Not everyone in the military is an E-3 that earns low pay. Senior enlisted and officers actually earn very good pay.

a lot of people get debt to buy houses and interest rates are lower so borrowing is cheaper.also people can become millionaires and pay cash for houses on even low to moderate incomes....

Military also get VA loans with $0 down, so for about $5k, they can buy a house!
