[quote=bearishgurl]Lifestyle reasons for buying there (whether or not it’s a wise investment) are purely subjective.[/quote]
bg,
I’m not sure I follow your line of reasoning in the rest of your post, but I it’s hard not to agree that, yes, lifestyle reasons are indeed subjective. Different people have different priorities.
Paramount summarized the hater’s perspective best in his car analogy. But not everyone has to rationalize that their Audi is really a BMW, because not everyone is caught up in brand/image hype. The way I see it, if an Audi that has more performance, features, etc. than an a BMW at the same price, the Audi is the better car, period.
But some folks get way too wrapped up in image. If one is the type that feels obligated to buy the Audi as a “compromise,” only to wish it were a BMW every time time their friends saw them, then they shouldn’t move to Temecula.
