Exactly. I like the idea of owning a house, but the idea of not only investing in the real estate market, but investing where I live is insane.

If I'm in the NYC labor market then I feel like if I were to own real estate then I should be hedging my risk by owning in Austin or something.

Different careers have different amounts of local correlation - I'm planning on waiting on buying a house until I get established as a remote programmer, then buying in a relatively low COL area.
