I hate to tell you this, but if you work at Tim Horton's in a US city (or
IHOP or McDonald's or wherever), you probably are not going to be able to
afford the cheapest home in your own city, either.  Certainly not one that
is not in a run-down, likely crime-ridden part of town.

Either your city has a very unusually low cost of living, or there is
something wrong with that house.

I am not so sure it is really free, at least not for citizens.
