[quote=bearishgurl]No one is calling anyone “stupid,” here, Ren. Perhaps you have a “chip” on your shoulder.

You never call anyone stupid, and I didn’t say you did. However, you imply it constantly (almost daily) when people simply don’t share your opinion, and that’s when the chip occurs. I can’t write that any way other than I already have, so I officially give up. I’m going on vacation now.

The houses you are describing with small kitchens and substandard (less than 8′) ceilings…

And you’re still missing the point. All layout issues aside, if I want (key word) a newer property (let’s say with low HOA and no MR, which is what I would aim for) over an older property with a bigger yard, and it’s for a home not an investment, that’s what I’m going to buy, and that’s the right decision for me. You telling someone that they’re making a bad decision for doing so will ONLY succeed in pissing them off. Get it?
I’m guessing you’ve got a touch of Asperger’s, so to further the lesson, when discussing opinion:
OKAY
“I prefer [x], and here’s why.”
“I like [x] better than [y].”
NOT OKAY
“[x] is better that [y].”
“You’re wrong.”
