- Comment on Why do people call Michael's house from GTA 5 a mansion? 5 days ago:
About 44% of new construction homes over the past 20 years have had 4+ bedrooms. The American Housing Survey uses categories rather than numbers, so 4 and 5+ is the most granular we can get.
It’s a significant problem in the housing market, often called the “missing middle”, where we don’t have enough starter homes for young/new buyers to get on the housing ladder. We are only building large homes used by families who already have a lot of equity

21/24, not a Brit but a good student of world history
- Comment on Since the US is now starting shit with Iran. And Syria changing Regimes. Also the Saudis quietelly back the US attack on Iran, and Russia still in a stalemate situation. What is OPEC going to do? 4 weeks ago:
OPEC+ already announced an increase in production to keep prices down.
Close of Friday was $60/barrel. Futures markets have them at $69 late on Sunday.
I doubt we’ll see anything in the $100 range. Too much cheap shale oil from the US and heavy, dirty crude from Venezuela having a market in the gulf should absorb major supply side shocks
