Inflation is a thing that exists. Saying that someone is bad simply because they want to update the value of their property is dumb. Also, let's say granny wants to downisze. Should she sell her home for a value way below market and then be unable to buy a smaller home for herself?
Yeah yeah I didn't count inflation but there's no way in fuck that poor old granny is just under the thumb of inflation.
The point is that everyone wants to fuck everyone, but they are the victim because everyone else wants to fuck them. It's greed from all angles, plain and simple.
I think everyone should get fucked and the housing bubble burst harder than the 08 implosion, frankly. Who is holding the bag isn't my problem, but the situation now where everyone fucking everyone else over isn't sustainable and is disproportionately screwing over the lower class. It's not my fault that granny was banking on screwing over the millenials to trade up to a beachfront property in the keys
Not really, no. If you're buying a house for yourself and after that you want to buy a bigger or smaller house, it'd be very dumb to sell waaaay under market when no one else will do that for you in return. You'd be either unable to find a home you can afford or you'd have to spend all of the money from a big house to buy a small apartment.
I think you have a lot of resentment built up and that's bad for both objectivity and your own health.
You're getting worked up over a fictional person that owns a fictional house and wants to sell it for a fictional price. On top of that, you're making up a lot of details to get even more upset. Relax dude.
You say this as if Granny doesn't have tea and crumpets with the person who can sell her that tiny house every saturday. If she wants to downsize affordably, she should take it up with her 'Golden Age Bookclub' buddies who own all the other houses in town...
