Why do you think buying a house of a certain size has anything to do with impressing people? Seriously, why do you think that is why people buy larger houses?

Stop thinking only through your own personal lens.

Have you literally read this thread? People have admitted to this.

Under 1.4 million is lower income housing
1.4 to like 1.8 million is middle class
1.8 million to 2.4 million is well off
2.5 million and above is rich

My block of 1.5-1.9 million homes are working class people with basketball hoops in driveway and Hyundai and Chevy type cars.

My daughters friend who lives on a 2-3 million block are the rich crowd.

1.4 million? They are poor janitors. Poors need to GTFO.

They are the landscapers, cleaning women, handiman or common criminals at 1.4 million or less

Stop assuming things you don’t know about. I’ve had 2 friends who bought a big house and told me they have so they can show it off. This exists. Don’t be dense.

It’s a poor crank cope. Everyone richer than them is insecure, shallow and secretly overextended and poor. Pathetic losers.

I too, know people who must buy the biggest house of their friend groups to impress others. Or lease the newest luxury brand cars yearly. It’s an unofficial competition with my people, especially in this region.

Just look at half the responses in this thread…they’re all shaming people for choosing to live in a TH. It’s just weird.

Because maybe they see it as a better investment, long term? Maybe they're planning on kids? Maybe that's the type of home available in their preferred area? Maybe they need the space for their activities and lifestyle? Maybe they work from home and need tons of office space? There are a ton of reasons why a couple might go that route that have nothing to do with what other people think. Nothing wrong with TH or SFH, people just choose what works for them.

Ambitious competitive people like to surround themselves with ambitious competitive people. This fuels success and fosters connections and business deals. You’re surprised such ambitious people exist in…the most over-educated striver hotbed in America? It just pisses you off and makes you feel inadequate because you can’t hang.

NP. Show it off? lol I think that's something that's in your mind. We bought a house so our kids could have their own bedroom, we could throw large birthday parties in the basement and yard, I could host the end of the year parties for school, campfire night for girl scouts, on and on. Townhouse people never step up to host or volunteer for any events at their house. Despite the majority of our school living in apartments and townhouses, my oldest has only been on one playdate to one. I do feel like the expectation is there that if you have a house, you should host.

We're saving a quarter of our incomes for retirement so yes we are well on track to be millionaires.

Maybe people just don't like you. You sound needlessly defensive.

We live in a townhouse and definitely host people including playdates as often as we can.

Well, that’s what YOU did. You don’t speak for everyone…

Girl, sit your corny ass down somewhere. Ain’t nobody jealous of your 1.2 million dollar shack built in 1943 with your tiny little .1 acre lot. Girl, bye.
