The sadistic choice of the US:

Barely scrape by in "luxury cities" where non-millionaires are an afterthought. But at least you'll have an easier time meeting fellow "undesirables".

Have slightly more money that will mostly just go to paying for a car to traverse car-dependent hell...but you have to have vapid neo-nazis for neighbors.

What the fuck America is so Goddamned cheap.

Huh? A typical salary here couldn't afford any of these. 0.

We've literally made our society completely dependent on marriage/dual income. For those of us that are perpetually single and don't have a WFH tech job that could go anywhere, homeownership is as obtainable as a unicorn.
