<prompt> Human: Ok, so yesterday I just decided to drive around and explore some areas somewhat near me that Ive never been to before. I stumbled upon neighborhoods with very very nice houses. When I got home I looked online at those neighborhoods and saw the houses ranged from 500-850k which in my area gets you a lot. 4,000-5,000 sq ft, 5 bedrooms 4 baths. I wouldnt have been so shocked if it has been just a few houses here and there that were like this, but when it was multiple full large neighborhoods with houses like this I couldnt help but ask my self where do all of these people work? What do they do for a living? How are they affording these expensive houses? It couldnt be anything too exclusive it seemed as it was full neighborhoods like this. At first I had expected to see very formal type people living there with suits, nice cars etc, but was just greeted with normal looking people out riding their bikes, walking the dog, watering the yard, kids playing outside. Where do these people work? What do they do for a living? How do they afford these homes I know some will say that they are living uncomfortably, are house poor etc, but not everyone there could be like that. Im genuinely curious about this!  <response>: Dont assume that they bought their houses in the current market. If youre in a city thats having a housing boom, this could mean that the value of these houses have risen dramatically in the last few years.
