This post sparked a major discussion on social media about housing in the U.S. Some users debated why it seems easier to buy a home abroad than in India, while others noted the higher income levels of U.S. truck drivers.
One user commented, “These are wooden houses in the USA, built-in 4-5 months. Land in the USA costs $1 per square foot or 83 rupees per square foot. The U.S. has more land and fewer people.”
Another compared property markets, stating that buying a house in U.S. suburbs is as challenging as in India. “You won’t get even a studio in Seattle or San Francisco suburbs for Rs 4 crore,” they wrote.
Highlighting the income disparity, another comment mentioned that an average U.S. truck driver earns about $80,000, equivalent to Rs 60-70 lakhs in India.
With such diverse reactions, the post has garnered over 1 Million views on X.
