How are you not getting this? Maybe if you didn't use "this single mom in her 20's can't buy a $1m home!!!" as the basis of your outrage you wouldn't look so fucking goofy. And you own a house right? idk how tf you don't understand how real estate works LMAO.
Here's another mindblower for you: it's almost as if design preferences have changed, cost of materials have gone up, and modern houses have more ammenities and features. And it's almost as if the avg sq footage of a family home has doubled since last century. Crazy! How absurd to not charge the same as they did 35 years ago! But don't let that stop your weird obsession with comparing apples to Volvos.
Actually, older homes are often times much better.
And you are the one who is missing the point. Try reading the thread instead of rushing to post your dogpoop worth of an attempt.
