[[SPECIALMESSAGE]]
To My New Neighbors: Daedalus Is Player-Hating You!
Posted: Friday, August 21, 2009 10 Hours 42 Minutes 41 Seconds Ante Meridian

If there is one thing that kills people its envy and I have it. Yes. I have Player-Hate.

In 2006 I moved into a relatively new neighborhood. The homes were mostly only a few years old. I was one of the last ones in. I was happy with my new home and all its perfectness. It was a later model than other homes similar to it in the neighborhood.

"
I live in a mans house. Bitch!
"

I had it built austere because I really dont like frilly things and unnecessary trim. I think art-deco should stay in Europe where it belongs. I furnished it austere as well buying most of my stuff from Ikea. When Obi-Wife moved in, her gargoylesque furniture (those tables are ugly) went upstairs.

"
What is it with your Earth-toned domiciles?
"
 

Anyway I got exactly what I wanted and it was superior to anything like it. I had the funny looking, but cool house on the block. Even today, its the only one within a two mile radius thats grey. Neighbors: What is it with you and your earth-tone domiciles? You know what it is? Y'all are married. Thats why your homes are tan inside and out. I was single when I bought mine. I live in a mans house. Bitch!

Then the housing crisis happened, credit was tightened and everything collapsed.

That was good news. I was starting to see cars with rims running around from a community of starter-homes about two miles from where I live. As we all know, rims usually bring crime with them. Well, foreclosure cleaned all that out and restored balance to the community. It also lowered the value of my home by $50,000. Damn!.

"
It lowered the value of my home by $50,000. Damn!
"

But then, the 2.0 Houses arrived. These were significantly cheaper, bigger and nicer looking than not just my tiny cottage in the country, but everyone else's house too! I would say I'll get myself a 2.0 house but I cant sell my home right now as I owe more than its worth and with a 15 year mortgage + escrow, the payments are sky high. Renting it out would mean a significant monthly loss. So I wont be getting a 2.0 House of my own for a while.

These people got better homes for less money. So, I am envious.

Nice house though. I hate my neighbors.

I am also joking.

Subject:Better homes? Unlikely...
Comment:
They probably did not get better homes. Contractors cut more corners when money is tight. I've seen homes built during both booms and busts, and toward the end of a boom and the beginning of a bust, the workmanship and materias suck. After the bottom of a bust the quality goes up as people have once again learned to insist on quality and the few left in the marketplace are the competen who are capable of providing it. That continues until there is sufficient recovery for the "more money than brains" crowd to return to being a dominant market factor, at which time quality begins to sag as more people are willing to settle for crappy quality for a faster schedule. So in a nutshell, your 1.0 house is probably lot better house than the 2.0 houses. ;-)
