I'm north of Austin right now and anything decent is $500k+ even an hour outside of the city. Same goes for the Houston area.

Its because his definition of "anything decent" is not rooted in reality.

East Cobb still has some good looking homes for under $600,000.
I suspect they're outside of the core of East Cobb if they're both quite nice and under 600k. Probably non-Walton. I'm not an East Cobb guy though, although I am there quite a bit.
You can find 5-6k sq ft homes in Sugarloaf for around 1.5m. The reality is that Sugarloaf is a nice neighborhood in an mediocre city in an undesirable county. It doesn't help that Atlanta has 5-7k foot high end homes all over the place that were all built in the 90s and are just absolutely hell to bring up to 2020s standards. You can renovate a lot of stuff, but ugly columned 90s builds and grandiose stucco is tough. Basically it's very out of style but too expensive to tear down.

There is some of this, but calling Kempner a "great school" is pretty far in the other direction too

Good point. I noticed that when I would visit in the mid to late 90’s. I wonder why they were so large and not a more normal 2,500-3,500 sq ft?
5,000-7,000 sq ft maybe was a style back then because you’re right there are so many of them throughout the metro Atlanta area.

Cheapest 3br+ 2ba+ home in this city is $550k, and it's a townhome.

Ok, for the suburbs of Houston, I guess it would meet the definition of good. It isn't average and by no means a poor school. It certainly isnt anything resembling a poor, inner-city school and certainly isnt dangerous. Full disclosure, I had kids who graduated from Clements and would not have had an issue with them going to Kempner.

Well, the OT also has Bill Gates money, Secetariat's dick, and a front lawn like Augusta.

if a $450k home is your idea or a starter home, you’ve got some hard life lessons in front of you bucko.
buckle down.
work hard.
stop expecting handouts.
show some humility.
live within your means.
maybe one day you’ll get that “starter home”

I'm seeing two single family homes that are 3 bed 2 bath one for 575k, the other for 520k. But yea that place is expensive. Not every city is a starter city

"This city" is Milton, GA
That's hardly considered a neighborhood for "starter" homes is it?
That's like me saying there's nothing available under $2.4M in the town where I lived in NJ: Zillow

Atlanta Country Club area in East Cobb is the same. Some spots in Sandy Springs too. Most of Buckhead avoided this, thankfully. Some massive homes that were no doubt nice at the time but were just built in the wrong era. Huge stucco monstrosities that nobody finds attractive now but can't be refit/renovated and can't be torn down.
The saving grace for those owners are that Indian and Persian families appear to love this aesthetic, which gives them a solid market
