That analysis is flawed.
It now takes two incomes to buy a house.
It used to be that one wage earner could buy a house.
If he/she lost their job the other person could usually find something to help out

Now the shit hits the fan if even one out of two lose their jobs.

I am also not sure if that report factors in property taxes and other things (heating) etc. I do not remember.

Whether it does or not it is hugely suspect. I read the full article at one time and I think it was way off base.
