If only the incorrect title was true

[@GummyBearWA]

Fire whomever proof read that title.

[@takeitzenman7894]

That letter "K” really makes a difference.🤔

[@206remyboyz7]

So that would be roughly $18,000.00 a month $4500.00 a week

[@CESARvsTHEWORLD]

I think I can only afford a garage at this time

[@CelesteWriter]

Where do they think people work?

[@PunchyDonk]

When you need to make numbers and letters to afford a home nowadays

[@WalkawayRene12]

And you wonder why we have a sea of homeless on our streets

[@Rashnak66]

yeah, those junkies making only $200k have been priced out!

[@nightcritterz]

i make about 75k and my roommate and i can only just afford a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment.
People born and raised here should get priority for affordable home ownership over those that moved here in the last 10-15 years.

[@A3Kr0n]

How many people make that?

[@GR3YD3ATH]

[@UrbanSipfly]

Man, how much I hate my house, and yet, very thankful that the house in South Seattle was at a very reasonable price in 2008 that my wife and I could afford...

[@AndrewHoeveler]

The missing K was ingested by the person writing the headline. 😂

[@DistrustHumanz]

How many people would like to bet that the person that messed up the video title has a college degree?

[@seattledude2022]

Cambodia is also affordable, did Zillow mention that?
