Boston data doesn't look right to me for income. I wonder if the datasets are counting all of the same people. The rent looks right though, its absurd here. No land and too many NIMBYs

Who can actually afford to live there? But here in Europe, there are some cities as well that seem unaffordable. I knew a guy, who lived with his gf in London, and they paid 70% of their combined income in rent. You couldn’t even afford a car that way.
