MODERATORS
You say that as if the cost of home ownership isn't also increasing faster than salary. This is not a function of landlords/renting.
Agreeing: Appliances, repairs, taxes, HOA fees, and utilities are all going up in cost faster than salary. The only homeowner cost I can think of that isn't going up is my mortgage, which is fixed-rate. With a variable-rate mortgage, even that could be going up.
