He's probably not off the mark, but some of the math in the article is definitely skewed or omitted to prove the point. He shows 1984/2012 inflation adjusted/2012 actual home prices for each metropolitan area, but only shows the national average for salary.
Also, aren't vehicles today more affordable than they ever were from an annual salary ratio standpoint?
That being said, getting into the housing market is ridiculous now.
