That’s not median home price, that’s anecdata

My point is the median house price is too generalised to be meaningful!

It doesn't take into account that prices for large houses in desirable areas have massively exceeded retail price and wage inflation but houses in less desirable areas have barely kept pace with inflation, let alone wage inflation.

Meaning they are no more expensive to buy in real terms than they were in 1971. Median house price does not reflect that.

A: They got bored of men's historical housing price discussions and simply listen to music instead. :p

Me: Hey there’s that thread, I wonder what’s new in that discussion of where are all the women audiophiles? [Clics on link]

Men in thread: Let’s hijack this into an endless homosocial chunterfest on abstruse housing affordability data, and ignore women entirely.

Lurking women, if any: Message received!

:eek:

Since no women (that may, possibly) have been here, responded, we men could not answer the OP's query, and just took of on other things, that we probably know something about.

And women sure do like music.
Devices used to do the listening are not very important.
Women are clever.

Mum always helps dad pick speakers (she got the better ears clearly), which he then uses to play silly freejazz that annoys her so much, she flees to the garden.

She's always relieved when her electrotechnobasshead son comes visit and dad puts on Kraftwerk or Infected Mushroom. Much better for her taste. "At least it got structure and a proper groove" :p

Haha. Good for her (and you).

I'm discovering a new neighbour quite dislikes my music preferences. I'm torn between blocking their number or keeping the texts for friends and family amusement. But I should try some free jazz, I expect that'll be fine..

Choose tracks with as random and annoying a sax as possible. Shouldn't be hard to find.

We should ask ourselves why our homes in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are so expensive when there is so much land. It's obvious why London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo are expensive - there are a lot of people and not much land. But here? It's just incompetence!

Yeah, but people don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere. They want to live in the cities. Also, they are all relatively high income countries, so naturally property prices follow.

My wife (a big city raised women [foreign 38 million population] who hates music, so definitely no audiophile)
and I heavily prefer the middle of no where and find it unfortunate that we also need a home in a formerly moderately populated area to be close to my 92 year old mother.
Main Home (Nice: no cell phone signal here [the last place on the electrical grid {40 miles from my mother's house]}). I have to build a cell antenna for my wife:

City Home (12 miles from my mothers house):

Mother's Home (at the edge of the city [the city starts at across the street from the front of the house {this is the view from the back of the house, where I grew up. it was country then}}):

I would never voluntarily live in a city.

Looks like a lovely abode. The allure of the country is not lost on me, but similarly I have a wife who is through and through a city-girl.
