Not really. Tech people make a disproportionate amount of money compared to working class and normal white collar people in the Seattle area. Wanna house? Your family needs to clear $350,000+ yearly. This isn’t an exaggeration. The house my parents sold for 1.1 mil 10 years ago is now with 3.4 mil.
Working class and tradesmen people are getting killed out here by cost of living. It has nothing to do with “hard work”. These aren’t Starbucks baristas and McDonald’s workers. These are people in manufacturing, construction, food and beverage plants etc. jobs that need to be done.
Then these tech workers leave and ruin places like Montana driving out the locals by buying houses they barely stay in driving up housing prices.
$150k isn't as much as many think it is.
It should be ZERO for everyone.
Putting a cap on it, deincentivises people to work hard.

House hunters tho...."He's a civil war arrowhead historian and she sells seashells by the seashore. Their budget is $5,000,000 for a starter home..."
Absolutely agree.. That’s where the Step in the Right Direction comes in..
Civil Servants “If we manage to stop wasting your money, we won’t need to steal as much”.
That is the essence of what he just said.
Ah yes ... truth in advertising
