America is not homogeneous. I live in a low cost of living area and make 100k. I have very few real issues. I can easily afford my home. It's not that everyone has it bad, it's that most people want to live in the same handful of areas and there is not enough housing in those areas to meet the demand. So the price goes up. Many people are choosing to be squeezed and they do not like this being pointed out.
"Want" is a weird way of phraising "all the jobs worth working are in the big cities, never mind the LGBT internally displaced refugee crisis"
