I think the problem is that people want to buy 3 bedroom homes with a 3 stall garage on 2 acres of land. In my market, there are tons of affordable homes, but they aren't brand new, huge, with a ton of land. People are going to have to pay for that. It's a matter of keeping up with the Joneses from my perspective. People just don't want an average size home built in the 60s. They need a brand new 3k SQ ft home and bitch that's it's not affordable. They can't all be.
I live in Toronto, and there is no way that I could buy a small (not even average size) home built in the 60s for less than a million dollars, unless it's in a really bad neighborhood or needs so much work that I will end up spending that much anyway
It's off-topic for HN. From the guidelines:
- "On-Topic: [...] anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
- "Off-topic: [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
- "If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did."
Though I appreciate that I'm not paying much attention to the last point.
I understand that it may satisfy the Off-topic requirement in that these natural disasters are typically covered on TV news, but I think (for me at least) that it does gratify one's intellectual curiosity. Climate change is based on complicated climate science and these articles that are written about it are describing all of the predictions of climate science coming true in front of our eyes. Its horrible to see, but intellectually, it is stimulating.
Why was this article flagged? This is a really important issue.
404s are useful though.. how annoying would it be if you wanted to get to a specific part of the site, and you kept getting redirected to somewhere else without being informed that the part you are trying to access doesn't actually exist. 4 errors exist for a reason.
