She's being directly quoted by the grandparent. How can you get a direct quote wrong? In any case, I think we generally agree with her data.
The 2 income trap is real, and the US seems to have fallen for the ridiculous trap that is expensive housing. The sad thing is that it will take a societal shift away from obsessing with McMansions in order to affect any meaningful change, and it's unlikely to happen in our lifetimes because the realtors are the #3 top donor to government (See opensecrets.org - the NAR is #3)
I didn't get a direct quote wrong. I simply referred to a post where I give the data rather than her opinion. I even explained why in that post - I think her data is correct, but her analysis and presentation are misleading.
