and you could afford either.

If you want to play the wishing game.

If I won a 200 million dollar lottery jackpot today. I would buy a huge ass plot of land in the country and build a 1500 sq ft house on it and probably have a 1000 sq ft garage out back. :lol:

What would you do? Build a fucking 100 million dollar home that was like 15000 sq ft?

there we go, I wouldn't need that big of a house though. think I'd also make my out garage on skids to get around some taxing of permanent buildings.

Why are those the only two options? Why don't you let out in the country away from people be an option? You are skewing the choices so the only option is for people to agree with you. That's fucking retarded. Of course people are going to be forced to pick n-hood if their only other choice is a fucking ghetto. It's a retarded fucking question.

How did this get to be a money/class issue? In his original post shmike said that both houses cost the same.

There are a lot of questions that remain to be answered in order to make an informed decision in this case. I fail to see how cost of the house and the perceived status that comes with it is one of them.

Since unlike SOME people I do not have a cleaning lady and occasionally ,the fire department to unclog my toilet, huge houses do nothing for me. In the end it's just more space to accumulate crap, more time time spent painting walls, just more time doing everything. Cathedral ceilings are just wasted space thats a bitch to paint.

I would rather a 1400-2000 sq ft house that has a thoughtful layout vs 3000 sq ft of wasted space.


A smallish "meh" house in a great neighborhood beats a grand house in "meh" neighborhood. It's nice taking a stroll around the neighborhood and having neighbors that smile and say hello.

the place I lived at in the 5th wheel was great. never any problems with neighbors. it was located out in the country.

it was big enough for our needs. period. didn't want or need anything bigger.
