That's why they said 'house poor'. They're not poor, read the article they even talk about it. Being unwilling to pay "what the market demand" is a fun way of saying "were priced out of all reasonable choices".
Cost of living is different everywhere. If they made 250k in Indiana or Ohio, they'd have money to spare and a McMansion to boot.
