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.

A quote is never what you end up paying, there’s always changes, delays, “unexpected problems”, etc. I built a house 2 years ago, if you don’t budget for at least 20% above the quote you will have serious problems.
Then you compared the cost of materials with a finished house on a plot of land, I guess the mistake there is quite obvious, no?

That’s just moving the goalposts. A straw man is when one misrepresents their opponent’s argument as something weaker.

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