There is zero chance you ever get Texans to give up their cars and trucks, except maybe in the most fashionable urban areas.

So electric is probably as good as it is going to get here.

I mean if you always wanted to imagine you live on a starship this is the property for you.

That looks like it comes from the "laboratory habitat for subjecting people to sensory deprivation experiments" school of interior design.

That looks like someone told their interior designer that it's essential they can easily clean up after committing their many, many murders.

Edit: I should say I spend a disproportionate amount of time looking at insanely expensive properties so I can judge their decor decisions. There's no bigger sign of why the rich don't deserve their money than what they do with their money.

Had a quick look what you can get for ca. 500k in my district.

For 540k you can get a 111m² ground floor apartment, but you have to get permission to use it for living, as currently it's a mixed living/working designation. For 548k you can get an 89 m² fixer upper. The next ones (around 500k) are for 50-60 m². There's a 77 m² one for 289k, but it needs to be renovated, AND it comes with a lifetime tenant.

The tenant seems to be ... excentric:











(And yes, the shower is in the kitchen. Rent revenue is €3624 p.a.)

That sci-fi house is only missing a black monolith in the middle of the room.

I was going to ask exactly that.

First they came for our burgers and I said nothing.
Then they came for our F-150 and I said nothing...

You occasionally see that with old apartments, but it's very rare these days.

If I were held under $500K, this is probably the current (available) top contender in my prospective housing market:

Wait...560 square feet?

Damn. Well I guess it is good it is just you.

[Tonitrus]

Or a similarly sized house for double the price!

And the "unlimited money" contender...
