You can, but I can't. The difference is that I support a family of 6 with 2 separate living spaces (apartments in both cases) on a single income. I would LOVE for that to be a luxury, like the Mazerati I'm not trying to get myself into, and be able to just say "you know what, we don't need 2 homes", but people and laws prevent me from making that decision. Or for that matter from even reducing the cost of the 2nd living space any.
