        And it will continue to be sluggish because my generation can't afford to buy homes while paying off student loans.

        Without good jobs, home ownership will remain depressed. Ditto for high real estate taxes driven by exorbitant school budgets.

        home prices have risen faster than income. Used to be one could easily find a home 2x income or less. Many markets now it is > 4x.
