A Texas Republican representative has sparked attention with his response to concerns about affordability. U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, who represents a suburb southwest of Houston, was approached by a reporter on Capitol Hill and appeared to downplay the issue.

Nehls' response has been noted as being out of touch with the financial worries of many Americans. His district is located in a different part of the state from Alamo Heights, but his comments may still be of interest to local residents.

Further details about Rep. Nehls' statement and the context in which it was made are available from the San Antonio Current.
