Rocketing housing prices have made people more concerned about the housing market. Some have even started saying teasingly, "Happiness starts with a house!" Let's take Beijing as an example. The city's average income is 8,717 yuan ($1,304) a month. The price of a 100 square meter flat is equal to 41.15 years of a white-collar worker’s salary.
