Around here in this county I live in, home ownership is next to
impossible,
except for spending at least $75,000 or better. The average small 3
bedroom
house, no basement or garage (slab built) on a half to full acre runs *at
least* 75 grand or better.

I live 70 miles northwest of New York City, downwind from the largest dairy
farm in the county and with a gravel mine 1/4 mile down the road. 1 acre
lots and the typical 3 bedroom home will set you back at least $250,000 with
matching property taxes.
