It’s crazy that between us we make in the neighborhood of half a million a year and we can’t find a house we actually want to live in. We can afford many, many things — but the problem with housing in the US is that it all fucking sucks.

Having money but being unable to spend it due to lack of good choices is a vastly better problem than the opposite, don’t get me wrong. But it’s absurd that you can throw vast amounts of money at something and still end up with the same crap construction, “open plan” bullshit and poor living conditions as someone who spends 1/10 of what we would.

Money doesn’t really buy you much we care about. Does housing actually work for anyone in this damn country?
