One of the news outlets in my country did the article with the similar title, something like "When you can afford buying your own house if you save money from average salary". The article was from one word: "Never."

Was expecting to see something similar here.

To be fair, average salary varies per city* and if you earn the average salary in any city*, chances are you'll be able to rent but not buy. I've tried a few London post codes and their average salaries: deep red can't buy can't rent. I've also picked a few random places up north and around Manchester, and it came out orange. I wouldn't be surprised if the conclusion was the same for most of the country!

edit: fixed postcode->city typo.

Link please?
