This is 1 hour away from Los Angeles and cheaper than the most rural undesirable shitholes in the UK, literally less than half the price of anything within 1 hour of London. It was not cherry picked there were loads like that.

While the average American can't afford this it is a very realistic house to aspire to for someone who is good but not amazing in HS and wants to work as a programmer or nurse practitioner or any other job which pays $100k and marry someone with a similar job.
In the UK this house would only be realistic for the valedictorian/top few people who would have to absolutely grind and even then it would be less likely to happen. Technically you could do it, but in the USA this same person would be on $500k+ and living in a house like this which is where celebrities and 1 in 10,000 geniuses live in UK.

Again while you can live the same lifestyle as an American you have to perform at a far, far higher level for the exact same results. That is the part which sucks.
I am a very newly qualified doctor and a millionaire from a long term BTC hold, my tutor at medical school graduated from Oxford and was a financially motivated anaesthetist and wasn't close to being a millionaire despite being well into his forties. That isn't unusual here, it's just normal whereas it would be very odd in the USA.
