OK, so your issue isn't that you could never afford a home, but you can't afford to own a home within walking distance of a craft brew pub or barcade.
You claim to be a software developer, if this is true and you're worth a shit at it you can remote work from literally anywhere so why do you feel that your only options on places to live should be some trendy city?
