Not disagreeing with that in the least. But the "method" of "estimating" that this "study" used to conclude that all houses "cost" $1MM+ is ridiculous. For example, people's value for their time to commute varies dramatically. People in the US seem to value their commute time at close to nil and 75-90 minute 1-way commutes are not unusual. For me, value of time above 30 minutes goes up exponentially commensurate with the drag on my energy.
