That's an exaggeration. The median price for new construction in 1980 was $64,600. [1] As for existing housing stock, the median home value in 1980 was $47,200. [2] As housing prices are heavily right skewed, the prices of cheap housing is far closer to the median than the price of expensive housing. Based on a cursory overview of some charts, it seems like the bottom 20% of houses are no more that 30% cheaper than the median, putting them in the $30k range.

Most Americans have less than $1000 in savings. Unless you live day trip distance from something most people won't ever see it.

Even apartments can be build better. Concrete subfloor units with proper baffling (air gap between units, also makes utility work easier) means I've only heard neighbors when they were doing things like using a drill.

Wait, they took their ball and went home and you're defending that as a show of legitimacy?

Sadly, at least here in the American south, I don't know a single, non-clergy, christian who has read the Bible. Instead they've somehow been filled with the message that they'll somehow not understand it.

So the only understanding they have of their own religion comes from sermons, pop culture, and maybe a devotional they read once during a hard time in life.

I'm from hexbear, people are critical of it all the time on hexbear. You just can't criticize China and not know the people there are far better off than those in the US

Omg this is the most redditor argument I've seen off reddit. No one likes a pedant.

Also, they do state they would pay off their mortgage, so not only are you a pedant but also a wrong one at that.
