I haven't read 99% of the McMansion emails, but isn't this like
proof by duh? This is the McNation--we pay for cheap, crappy,
(fast) food at McDonalds and buy shoddy Chinese merchandise at Wal-
Mart. We neglect our health and emotional well-being and then
cover it up w/drugs that we are so eager to accept. It makes sense
ppl would want to pay cheap for a shoddy house--it's what we do for
everything else. We just need to patch it up when things come
undone (no Windows or [insert software title here] reference
intended, sorta). Since your house is an exception, you'll need an
exceptional buyer. Throw in the fact that it is a depressed and
depressing (literally and figuratively) market, that makes it even
harder.
Wow, well said. I think you just described the stereotypical
mentality very well. Most people are too ignorant to even know that
they are live like this and think they enjoy it.
Oh and the market is only depressing because the media is saying that
it is and more ignorant sheep are bleating along with it.
