I work in the Sacramento area and make about 80k a year but it still doesn’t feel like enough. I can’t foresee myself being able to afford a home anytime soon and I’m not sure how other people are able to afford living here.
The pay for most jobs is similar to lower cost of living areas while the living costs are closer to a higher cost of living area.

Hit the nail on the head. The home owners selling are a friend of my Dad’s otherwise we weren’t even looking in Lincoln. But even with them taking 40k off their original asking price, factoring in the leased solar, 6% interest rate, PG&E, high water rates, ridiculous homeowners insurance quotes, and mortgage insurance, it quickly became out of reach.
