            Apart from being eyesores, zoning in the US is pretty fricked. Lots of neighborhoods would be better suited for mid density housing like duplexes, fourplexes, and rowhouses, but since those arent options every bit of new development is just an island of 8 of those identical buildings right next to each other, jutting out of a suburb of nothing but single family homes.

              The thing with houses is that some things were cheap and ugly when they put them in, and there's not point in getting hung up removing them. I still have no idea why people like these ugly fricking panels.

                why would you ever rip out a true hardwood floor with thick planks?!? To put in some dog shit tile or floating laminate floor? That current floor as it sits is worth $$$$$$. You just refinish it.
                The wall.. meh it could go or stay. That sort of look was huge back in the day and less so now. As for the bundy house, they lived next to Marcy who was a bank president or something like that if I remember right so it wasn't a clap trap area of town. Houses where just cheaper back then..

        Makes sense. Mortgage rates were at 15% in the 80s, so even at half the price you'd be paying the same or more than the rates we are paying now. If anything 500k is cheap at 7%.

          Unless I did something wrong, learn to math. 15% interest on a much lower amount is WAY better than a 7% interest on a much higher amount.

            The point is that 50k house was actually a 150k house at 15% since you spent 2/3 of the overall price just servicing the debt. Compared to now when only 1/2 of the total cost overall goes to servicing debt on the house if you get a mortgage. And I don't think Al was paying a lump 50k to buy the place saving up money as a failed high school athlete.

    That's the exact wrong attitude. If just your house goes up in value, you have more money. If all house prices go up, it's 'asset inflation'. Then you don't have more money, the value of your money has gone down.

    No, you're just dumb as a sack of shit. One of those groups actively destroys society and its not the poor c**ts slaving their asses off to pay rent.

    If I was a nepobaby, I'd be a fricking billionaire by now, not fricking around with property like a pleb.

        I think I would, assuming I still had the same family. They'd probably still lock me in my room for being a little shit and I'd still spend my childhood reading thousands of books.

            Rich people also molest children which is what turned me into a c**t of a kid that spent his childhood locked in his room so it could go either way.

        Sorry I instinctively replied before realizing this is an even more moronic edit of the original image.

          You have to be genuinely sub 70 IQ to believe this.

          I can confirm my boomer father who did nothing but work down by the docks at a shipyard in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, owned 3 houses with 20+ acres of land each by 32 years old, nice ones. Had a non-working wife and 3 kids and a mistress on the side. Owned TEN separate sports cars, often which he crashed for fun because cars were so cheap and just bought a new one.
