You don't need $350k to buy a house if you're willing to spend an hour in the car every day.

Depends where you live.

In these parts if you expect to pay $350K for a house you better be ready for a long commute (or not have to go to work).

It's not like that where Ide lives.

I'm still pretty dubious that a house that costs $30,000 is liveable or that I wouldn't be murdered before I'd even moved all five pieces of furniture in.

You own five pieces of furniture? :dubious:

You can get a solid house for 10k in dayton ohio. Of course, they are mostly on Gettysburg ave, which is darkie death land.

You should just buy up the whole street then. Problem solved.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Meanwhile in this insanity Isle, this is just down the road from me, well river, here:




This 18ft by 10ft beach hut recently sold for how much ?




....
....
....
....
....

Two Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars.  :hmm:


Thats more than $1,400 per square for a temporary wooden structure with no land as such*, but no hot water or toilet facilities.


*iirc regulations about beach huts a complex and quite restrictive, here you're probably limited no more than 90 nights use a year and you can't fence off any land, so anyone* can wander amongst your 'property'


* me for instance, whose paid nothing to enjoy the same view. I could even set out a picknick on the beach in front of it.

In that situation, you're paying for location, not property.

And you're paying to say you've paid.

I'm trying to think of ways that someone lives permanently somewhere for free. Thought that might be less insulting than starting with if you live with a relative.
