That price checks out for Houston a few years ago. Y'all are the ones disconnected from reality.

I bought a new construction 2400sqft house with a 2 car garage on a quarter acre for $160k in Houston less than a decade ago.

Now that tech employees can work from anywhere (not anymore lol) then everywhere must rise to match a tech salary. Only big beautiful tech bros deserve to own their own domicile.

My brother lives in one of the shittiest markets in America and he's trying to move up from a house he paid $46K for in 2012. Everything is like this now

$150K to live in one of the worst places in the US, a town that had to shut down their town hall because they could no longer afford utilities for the building.

I'm more making fun of the person who thought that was the actual price for total ownership of a place like that.

so they just rebranded timeshares?
Kind of—I think fractional ownership means you get a piece of the deed (whereas you don't in timeshares? Idk).

Still not worse than East St. Louis. The city had to give City Hall to someone because it couldn't afford to pay a judgement to a man who had been beaten in prison.

A big part of every company's RTO push reducing employee counts without doing layoffs. They just want people to leave.

ive noticed a trend with people in conversations lately where they just want to buy random material poo poo to fulfill a spontaneous urge but they confess that it doesnt have any affect on their happiness. its scary that one can be aware all the while acting out involuntarily. like an addiction i guess.

yeah :smith:

I try to post through the sadbrains instead of buy but hey that's what this society is designed to do. Anyway, it's almost always sub-20 bux and usually a digital videogamez thing.

It's been like that for a long time. Lamborghini used the same switch stalks you'd find in a Morris Ital or Austin Metro in the Countach during the 1980s.

What you're basically getting with a supercar is the engine power and exterior styling. If you care about more practical things than that, you shouldn't get a supercar.

Supercars are veblen goods meant to sit in a garage/special display room just for the car.

I guess it's too much to think that they would give special accommodations to the people they could least afford to lose, and then tell everyone else to pound sand.
