Since Salaries don't rise in proportion to value of a house, will we reach a point some years from now where very few will be able to afford a house?

I mean, we are already seeing that scenario. My brother bought a house in Bay area around 8 years ago at 600k whose value is now double, but salaries haven't doubled in 8 years. So the people graduating and starting to work 10 years from now will be effectively gated away from ever purchasing a house? (unless it's a 2 person family with both having very good salaries)

Housing prices haven't doubled everywhere.  Prices go up as long as there is demand.  Demand in SF and bay area has been softening due to the rising costs of ownership (higher pricing, low inventory, rising interest rates)

SF and the bay area have experienced an unusual rise in proces and eventually people will look at job opportunities in other regions where housing is more affordable.  

I know I've turned down work out there because the salary wasn't enough to offset the cost of living.  

Your brother could now sell his house and move to a 2000 sqft lake house in Michigan, 40 minutes from downtown, and still have a few hundred thousand dollar buffer.
