Non ho capito bene i dati che citi. Il reddito mediano USA e' 50k. A NYC sara un po' piu alto, ma non credo di tantissimo. Se diciamo 60k, tre anni fanno 180k e sai che ci compri a New York ?
A San Francisco la mediana e sui 70k e sotto i 500k siamo a livelli da paura (paura di abitarci). Credo che il prezzo medio sia sui 700k.
Io sto solo citando il NYtimes non sono supposizioni mie... (anzi cado dal pero pure io dall'alto delle mie convinzioni, se no mica riportavo l'articolo
)
prova a leggerlo so che è lungo ma vale la pena

Purtroppo non riesco a linkarlo con google translate
The average Manhattan apartment, at $3,973 a month, costs almost $2,800 more than the average rental nationwide. The average sale price of a home in Manhattan last year was $1.46 million, according to a recent Douglas Elliman report, while the average sale price for a new home in the United States was just under $230,000.
By one measure, in cities like Houston or Phoenix — places considered by statisticians to be more typical of average United States incomes than New York — a solidly middle-class life can be had for wages that fall between $33,000 and $100,000 a year.
By the same formula — measuring by who sits in the middle of the income spectrum — Manhattan’s middle class exists somewhere between $45,000 and $134,000.
But if you are defining middle class by lifestyle, to accommodate the cost of living in Manhattan, that salary would have to fall between $80,000 and $235,000. This means
someone making $70,000 a year in other parts of the country would need to make $166,000 in Manhattan to enjoy the same purchasing power.
Using the rule of thumb that buyers should expect to spend
two and a half times their annual salary on a home purchase, the properties in Manhattan that could be said to be middle class would run between $200,000 and $588,000...
poi se sono dati sballati gli scrivo una bella lettera in redazione...
Grazie per i dati che mi dici di San Francisco: il decente è 10 anni di reddito netto. Mi sembrano alti come prezzi per comprare (certo da noi sono altissimi).
