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.

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

I think people are referring to the PPs who look down on people in townhouses. Those people are shallow and insecure. Not everyone who lives in a big house is a twat who disses townhouse owners.

Successful people care about their reputation and community standing. They don’t want broke messy people in their orbit. Concepts and concerns which go over the heads of average townhome dwellers.

You okay?

No I don’t think so. Such insecurity. Must be miserable.

Sadly I can't afford a single family home where we wanted to live, most are 3M+, but rowhomes are *just* 1M. So that is what we did.

In my first townhouse I had a retired neighbor who smoked all day on his deck, which shared a wall with mine—and that was annoying. In that home you could also hear everything through every wall. Other than that it was really nice and it was okay for me at the time (I was single in a new city). I enjoyed the proximity of neighbors and the lack of yard maintenance.

My next townhouse was an end unit and it was great until we had small kids. With two little ones all the stairs were tough to manage, and I’m sure the neighbors got tired of hearing them crying. At that point I really longed for a SFH, and when we moved that’s where we went.

Having less money doesn’t mean you are leas of a person.

I thought nurses made bank though most I know are divorced so can't count on a double income dcumers rely on for their lavish lifestyles.

Lots of insecure people in this thread. It’s not surprising. Also kinda hilarious.

Something like THIS in Oxon Hill is the norm

My townhouse is worth 1.3 million, and is not located in DC. And I have excellent credit and own a business.

You shouldn’t do drugs…

"Great credit" score =/= ability to get or pay a $2 million dollar mortgage on a nice SFH home. If you could do better you'd do better.

Or…We are happy with what we have and don’t see the need to jump to a SFH for no reason. I’m not going to move just to impress some a-hole on some anonymous Internet forum.

Your logic is utterly stupid.
