The City of San Antonio raised the pride flag on City Hall Monday morning in honor of Pride month which is celebrated throughout June across the world.

The pride flag, in the style of San Antonio’s official city flag with the Alamo inside a star, now waves atop City Hall below the American flag and above the Spurs flag.

This year marks 50 years since San Antonio’s first organized pride celebrations were held in 1976. It’s also the fifth year that the flag has flown atop City Hall.

This map is hard to unsee.

Blue means homes are still affordable.
Orange means they’re not.

And the problem is obvious: there is not much blue left.

In 2020, California was the only state considered unaffordable by this measure. Five years later, 17 states are. That is not a small affordability problem. That is a structural shift in what it means to buy a normal home with a normal income.

The part that stands out most is how quickly it spread. The West Coast and Northeast are almost completely orange, but this is not just a “big city problem” anymore. You can see it bleeding into places that used to be the escape hatch for middle-class families.

Higher home prices. Higher mortgage rates. Higher insurance. Higher taxes. Higher everything.

Meanwhile, wages are trying to keep up like a guy jogging behind a truck.

This is what the K-shaped economy looks like on a map. Some people are sitting on large home equity gains. Others are trying to buy their first home and realizing the ladder got pulled up while they were still tying their shoes.

The American dream did not disappear overnight.

It just got repriced.
