Comment on Housing prices
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI have recently had an estimate made for materials to construct a 1200 square ft home and it was a little over 135k. Add in labor and its looking like $175-200k. Compare that to the $800k starter homes in the area and you see a huge disconnect.

Tell us more once it’s completed. And don’t forget to add the land.

Keep moving your goal posts, straw man. The rest of us are actually making progress.

That’s not how fallacies work…

You attacked me for not knowing the price for construction materials, implying that my statement of the cost of homes being close to the $138K in the OP was way off. Then I showed i knew what I was talking about, and your argument became land price and hidden costs of construction. Thats exactly what a straw man does. You move the goalposts and create a new argument instead of addressing how you got called out on your bullshit.

Why don’t you run back to your motte and bailey, you ad hominem?
