>>4286261Because modern zoning laws require very strict construction and a "house" as you see it is brand new and top shape. That is your fault in presuming that everyone should automatically settle only for the highest standard instead of taking on a project and slowly fixing it up.
>>4286260There are plenty of older and more rundown homes around every city, one just needs a car to be able to commute, unless they actually know what they are doing and figured out not to work in a city.
Ultimately expecting to be able to buy a house upon graduation from highschool or college is a fallacy of high expectations and lack of realism. One should live small and frugal. They should do this for some time and save up for bigger things while they work full time.
