That's logical yes, but I'd prefer to see them punished (at least 50% of them has a Stanford undergrad and thus thinks of the rest of us as subhuman scum anyway so I think it's perfectly fair).

OP lives in Austin. If you have $1M net worth, you can probably buy a house there and live there. If you don't go do that, I think you're just punishing yourself.

Yes - there are insanely great houses all over Texas. $400K gets you incredible houses, depending on the area, and $1M would get you mansions beyond your (or at least my) wildest dreams.
Meanwhile, if you live in the Bay Area, I can totally see "$1M net worth but not really able to buy a house".
Where you choose to live in really does matter a lot. Not to say there aren't issues with property costs, but... come on.
