I'm also a higher earner. For most people that 30-40 minute drive house isn't really an option. I choose not to because that drive in rush hour is easily over an hour.

What was your starter home and salary buying?

20% down, 2 bedrooms/1 bath, high interest rate, poor'ish part of town, and (for me) a struggle to make the payments. People working up in D. C. bought in Fredericksburg for an hour'ish commute.
