[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure there's the odd person out there who "happens" to live in gigantic houses and who I could get along with (I live in a $1.6M 900 square ft apartment, but that's NYC real estate), but the sheer environmental footprint of that building - creating, maintaining, etc - is honestly just gross to me. I may be hypocritical and judgemental on this, I certainly dont live a zero-waste life, but 15,000 just feels so gratuitously wasteful. I can't think of a valid justification for so much space (and OP certainly hasn't offered one) and such waste. So, no matter how much I liked someone, unless I found out they lived in such a giant house in order to accommodate the 30 refugee children they regularly fostered, or something else so obviously charitable and connected to home size, I'd question my friend's core values.[/quote] What if they sponsor 30 (or more) refugee children with their money, but don't make it a practice to talk about it? [/quote] Than my hypocrisy and judgmental nature would have gotten the better of me. But I'd also find it odd (and disappointing! Tell me more bc you're keeping an awesome side of your life a secret!) to keep that a secret, so maybe I'm just too judgmental for you.[/quote]
