My friendās neighbor who lives in Utah is selling their 3 year old house (2 story, 4 bed, 4 bath, 1,928 sq ft + land) for $299,000. My 3 bedroom 2 bath tiny kitchen flat cost me close to $500,000 here in Taiwan. Argh!

Supply and demand?
Iām Vancouver that wou-
I donāt even want to think about it.
Heating bill?
Taxes?
Looks pretty but I know what those cardboard walls have inside.
You guys like cars. I hate driving. Just thinking that you simply cannot walk to the store to get milk makes my skin crawl. 2 hours commute? Nope.
Oh and to those romantics about lawns, may I remind you lawn maintenance costs? Just pushing the friggin mower downā¦ no way, not me.

You just pay some kids 20 bucks to mow it on the weekend. Itās not professional but it should hold community standards and avoid getting fined from the community.
In Texas the roads are flat and stright with not much traffic. You can see the police from miles away. Not bad.

DonĀ“t remind me of Texas. Last time I was in Houston, I wanted to go to the mall. Map says is just in front of the hotelā¦little did I know there was a highway between me and shopping blissā¦No way to cross it on foot, no pedestrian passes, tunnels or whatever. Cities built for cars, not humans. 25 USd or more taxi fare as exits are put far in between, no way for a car just to go acrossā¦

Houston is another story. Itās a mess.
Outside of Dallas where I lived is wonderful. New and nicely built cities. We even have an in and out burger

I do miss having a big backyard, and how much space that gives the dogs to run around and play. I canāt bring myself to get a large breed in Taiwan knowing Iād have to shut it inside my little concrete block, and Iām not the type to get a little dog. So no dog for me. How miserable.
But Iām with Icon here, I donāt much enjoy driving, and I donāt get any pleasure out of owning a nice car. Itās just another thing I have to pay bills for and get maintained and repaired. Iāll only drive if I have to, and in most places in America, you basically always have to. If you donāt have a car itās like you donāt have legs. Itās a bummer.

I would love a lawn. Iād even push one of those old hand mowers to mow it. Just to sit outside and escape the ehā¦house.
BBQ a couple of times a year would be worth it. Throw the kids out when they are fighting :).
Iād like to see the wildlife, birds singing. Snow and frost in the Winter .

You enjoy it until itās 35 C out and the challenge is getting that sucker mowed before you end up with heat exhaustion. My pops almost keeled over many a time before I finally told him to just never do it in the summer ever again. I did it until I left and had someone else take over.
We had the old-fashioned push mower, too, because my father is so anti-sit mower. āOnly fatasses get those,ā he says.

Cars are half the price in the US compared to most of the world. Gas is also so cheap. Itās one of the best things about the US.
My mom didnāt like driving either. Until we got her a 550 horse power Mercedes amg lol. It has a seat cooling fan to keep your ass from sweating in the summer. Amazing. One time I caught her reving the engine for fun.
