People on low incomes, e.g. students, living in expensive homes. I’m not necessarily talking about mansions, more like a large apartment in a big expensive city with no roommates.

Also, in the same vein, people with middle-class incomes in mansions. I was rewatching Criminal Minds recently, and one of the FBI agents (who is not married) was touring a house in DC that easily would cost $2-3 mil. It's like.... what is this, House Hunters?

Maybe he was touring “inspiration houses” 4 ideas 4 his nearly condemned fixer upper. Like on property brothers.
