The other solution is for the elementary school teachers in your example to move elsewhere in the country.
There’s plenty of space in America. Plenty of schools all over the country where two elementary school teachers could work and have the home you mentioned.
Your comment is based on the strange assumption that the Bay Area, DC, NYC, and other high cost of living metropolitan areas places are all that exist in America.

Unless no children are intended to exist in the expensive areas these elementary school teachers are moving from, shouldn’t all regions, expensive or not, be able to support teachers?
Yes all regions should be able to support teachers.
But the original comment wasn’t about supporting teachers. It was about buying a house.
My comment in reply was saying that if buying a house is so important to these teachers there are many places in the USA they can live to do that.
You can still live in nyc or the other places as two elementary school teachers in an apartment. There’s no human right that says a house (compared to an apartment) is a required part of life.
