FlapYoJacks posted:No joke, minivans are really quite nice now. If I had to raise my stepkids again, I would not hesitate to get a used Honda Odyssey Yeah we have a Honda Odyssey and it’s really nice. And since it has a 10 speed automatic, the fuel efficiency is pretty good given the size and weight of it. It also feels safe/secure without being some lifted mega SUV/truck monstrosity.

I think this has come up in the thread before but who the gently caress is going to buy all those lovely mcmansions. At some point you know the people living in them are gonna cash out and retire, are there enough millenials with lead brains to carry the torch? https://twitter.com/texasrunnerDFW/status/1641796996372525056

Besides increased atomization of society, many places cut down traffic enforcement to almost nothing and never recovered. A ton of cops refused to mask or vax and died and DMVs across the country were/are an absolute poo poo show with many months of backlog. For a long time in Portland you didn't even need a license plate to drive legally because you essentially couldn't get one. I wouldn't write off COVID as a partial influence though. Two of the primary symptoms of long COVID "brain fog" are poor memory and concentration. This makes it harder to work and it's probably not great for your driving skills either.

Friends made fun of me, then asked for rides. I was also the DD for parties most of the time. The minivan could also hold many CRT monitors for LAN parties, including my Twenty four inch widescreen Sony Trinitron.

anime was right posted:boomers got married at like the age of 18 They could afford to. What’s the average price for a wedding now, $30k? We must have spent… lol a bit more than that. Also I noticed a lot of Boomer parents are sullen and resentful and or miserly and won’t even pay for the bride’s dress, let alone a significant cost of the wedding. It sounds petty, but contrary to the stereotype of immigrant parents being too involved, a lot of my friends had their hearts broken by their WASP parents just not participating at all. I wonder if that’s alienation or overreaction to being smothered by their parents and remembering their weddings not really being “about them”.

I got married in a modest municipal office, with my wife. e: to answer the question of who's buying them, boomer's kids are going to inherit them (fighting over them if necessary) and immigrants will buy the rest.

My wedding was at a hotel, and we spent $15k~ back in 2012. We were also already married by that point, and it was just a ceremony. My daughter is doing the same thing. Get married at the courthouse, then plan a ceremony a few years later.

Xaris posted:nah, poor memory and concentration would probably make you more confused, slower to respond, and akin to being on a phone/80 year dementia driver. it generally wouldnt enable the psychopathy displayed that social contracts are destroyed and learning it's all nothing matters, everyone is rube sheeple, fygm internalized. nah behavior change including bursts of anger is in the mix too, sorry. covid sucks; i recommend not getting it.

At some point you know the people living in them are gonna cash out and retire, are there enough millenials with lead brains to carry the torch? I saw a thing recently about the housing market in Japan after years of population decline, apparently the countryside is littered with abandoned homes and it's usually considered economical to literally give the house away rather than pay taxes and maintain the property. If you dont live somewhere convenient your house may never be sellable. Our real estate market was a big dumb pyramid scheme hinging on infinite growth and a balooning population continuing apace forever. Leveling out or declining populations is not great for people on 30 year mortgages

net work error posted:So you're saying housing prices might go down? They will not be going down There's a housing development here that's quite literally built on a toxic slagheap that's shifting. Houses were built there 2010-2012, started at $350K or $395K or something around there. There's been over a decade of litigation and bad news about the place, reports about peoples' houses sliding down the hillside, people getting sick, etc. Anyway there are two houses in this slag development for sale right now and they're both over a million bucks.

Xaris posted:21 mill mcmansions aren't really mcmansion, those are just mansions I don't know how much people will fight the necessary changes in HOA rules, but I think what a lot of owners will do is try to rent out their McMansions to groups of young professionals or alter them in some way so that they can be split between two families or something like that.
