So much defeatism! You can still get a house like that for cheap. Just cut out the avocado toast, ask Mom for a six figure loan, then find a gem property in the local airport flight path, next to a slaughterhouse, an AI data center, built on reclaimed landfill, and across the state highway from a pet sematary. You can get it for under a million easy!

That's what I did, and I'm living the dream. My reanimated dog gets sick every time he drinks from the oily puddles of blood and liquid fat that bubble from the ground constantly, but I did it, I own a home!
