[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Right. But the PPP (before you) was saying that it's all an economic choice and not a lifestyle one - but, in fact, you cant separate the two. For $350K you CAN buy WOTP, you just don't want to because living in a cramped apartment isn't as nice as living in a SFH when you have kids. Totally valid choice, but it is a lifestyle choice. People with bigger budgets are still making the same choice.[/quote]

I was curious about this so I did a search with these parameters.  Keeping in mind that we are at or near the height of the real estate season -- i.e., it doesn't get more voluminous than this -- I located ONE apartment with two bedrooms that is avail for less than $350,000 WOTP.     There are about 25 one-bedroom apartments avail for less than $350,000.

So it's true, if you want to sleep together with your children in the same bedroom (which Laura Ingalls didn't even do with Ma and Pa), then in theory you &quot;can&quot; buy a place &lt; $350K WOTP.   Otherwise, BS[/quote]

I know several professional families living with 1-2 kids in one bedroom apartments, condos or coops in desirable WOTP neighborhoods. Admittedly, some are European, and maybe that helps. Maybe Americans are just born desiring more space. So yes, people do make this choice, even if it surprises you.[/quote]
