you can't afford a lot in a proper subdivision
...then you shouldn't bother to live here?
Will the local employers raise wages until workers can "afford" to buy in a "proper subdivision"?
I see another manifestation of "one size doesn't fit all" -- the presumption is that everyone should "afford" a stick-framed house with a mortgage payment, when the vast "private, agricultural" subdivisions don't really support that solution. Instead of adjusting expectations to match reality, we create fake insurance and milk the bailouts.
