[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does 1 person need a 1.7M property? I mean, I sympathize, OP. We were in the same exact position, but as a family of 4, so buying a modest 3br in our hood was our aim. Now we’ll be renting forever. If I were you, I’d buy a close in 2br condo in a great neighborhood and build equity. [/quote]

She has kids. [/quote]

I have a husband and two kids and we live in a 3BR 3.5BA townhouse we're about to sell for $700K. We're in a good neighborhood in close-in NOVA with good schools. In fact, our neighbor across the street is a single mom with two kids -- the house is perfect for that. Not sure why OP is feeling entitled to a $1.3 Million dollar McMansion.[/quote]

The quoted PP said a single person doesn’t need that. Your comment is all about you.  She’s not entitled, she’s frustrated and disappointed that housing here increased drastically and rapidly.  Why throw in McMansion?  You’re trying to insult her multiple times but you just sound  bitter, angry and jealous.  The crappy housing situation here does that to people but no need to take it out on another person who’s unhappy about it. [/quote]

Everyone trying to buy is frustrated. I think people are saying OP is entitled or asking for too much because she's basically saying that the way most of us live around here is terrible and depressing and intolerable. That's a little insulting. [/quote]

Ah. There’s the root of the problem. You’re taking it personally.  [/quote]

Not PP, but I'm not personally insulted.  I just think it's ridiculous to be whining about not being able to afford a $1.7 mil home when the vast, vast majority of people in this HCOL area do just fine with cheaper housing.

Don't go to the super fancy restaurant and complain that inflation increased your dinner from $400 to $500, so now you'll never be able to eat out again.  Just go to the $100 restaurant, or even the $300 restaurant. Jeez.  Expecting the people who cook at home every night to feel bad for you is ridiculous.[/quote]
