The average income is 20k before taxes. This isn't even a central location and the house is barely larger than my apartment.

it's a little known fact that while sharks are silky smooth if you rub them front-to-back, they're actually smoother if you rub them the opposite way and doing this makes them even smoother yet if you go do the first thing again, this process can be repeated seven times before the sharks carapace reaches zero friction in either direction and can now swim sideways at its top natural speed of 88 miles per hour, after which point you'll see some serious poo poo

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

*shakes hand" $2.4 million you say... would you take a $350 down payment, a circa 1999 Star Wars Episode 1 Sebulba Slurpee Topper, valuable exposure mention on my Twitter, and my solemn guarantee to continue paying the mortgage with my income that floats between $600 and $1100 per year?

If this was pre 2008 they'd of already signed you after "$350"

Lmao you think that's a ridiculous price?

Doing the math, houses that size (with a MUCH smaller yard) in Toronto go for around £800,000.

Buddy those are real estate prices many of us can only dream of.

At the least the uk house is made out of bricks and won’t rot to pieces in 10 years, why you pay for a mansion made of wood and chip board boggles the mind.

There have been building inspectors and real estate insiders saying that they would advise against buying an apartment in a building over a few stories that was built in the last 10(?) years or so in Australia. Letting developers and builders certify their own work went well.

I mean, this isn’t falling down, but I wouldn’t rush to have the same people build something for me: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-30811889

Ronan Point was the classic “where’d that building go?” in the UK, but it didn’t exactly fall over. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronan_Point

E: looks like things might not be a lot better now for some towers, though: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tower-blocks-collapse-risk-grenfell-safety-government-a8592436.html

I can't decide if this is very darkly funny or just dark, so I'm trying to figure out some random way of deciding. I'm thinking of going with the old meme thread classic of flipping a coin.
