At least here, there's plenty of affordable stuff close to downtown. You just have to be okay with living around non-white people.

home ownership is being locked into HOA's and that is making homeownership not merely unaffordable but annoying. it's your goddamn property you do what you want with it

I too would like to change all of the oil/fluids in my car and keep it on my property in milk jugs when I'm done. And when I'm sick of seeing it on my lawn I will dump it out in the creek in the back of my property ruining the land for decades. YES!!!!!!

Suburbs.

For $500,000 you can get a 3 bed/1.5 bath rowhome in a nice part of Philadelphia, or you can get a 4,000 sq ft victorian with 5 bedrooms, a 2 car garage and a swimming pool 15 miles away.
Also, the outskirts of many cities have affordable housing, but they feel like a city/suburb hybrid.

Does moving to the zip code do it or is it that the zip codes where people live longer have a bunch of rich people who can afford preventative care and healthier food options and lower particulate matter in the air?

I owned people at PacMan

Raiders of the Lost Ark was possibly the trippiest/coolest game I played, or even have played. nothing makes any sense and it's an abstract interaction of poorly shaped sprites and it owns

I could never understand what to do in Raiders if I recall correctly. I remember getting the whip and that was about it.

PacMan was cool but Pitfall was my jam. It taught me how to walk on alligators.

I wanna get a house but don't want to pay more in mortgage than I am in rent

Also there's noooooo way I'm buying before the upcoming housing market crash lol. I remember the last time around I was waiting tables and I had people telling me I should buy a house now with an adjustable rate mortgage. I never had anybody explain it to me in a way that wasn't, "it's cheap at first and then it triples in price so that you lose the place and all your investments in it"

I had the 20% but my mortgage broker said I could get a non-HUD loan for 5% down so I took the difference and replaced some windows and carpet and poo poo.

I paid $120K and put down a hair under $7K.

I live a block from a light rail station and drive maybe one day a week.

the house they used for exterior establishing shots is now worth like $600k or $700k or something, and Chicago's a relatively mild housing market compared to a lot of other places right now.

Roseanne's house sold a few years ago for around $130k (it's in a blue collar town in Indiana), so that was a lot more accurate.
