5/26 Will people start to tolerate living in the city more as gas
prices increase, or will they stick to the same suburban
lifestyle that they've grown accostomed to for many generations?
In another word will the price of traveling affect the price of
my crappy city home due to the natural laws of supply/demand?
\_ Most people worldwide prefer to live in cities, so I guess
I don't understand your question. It depends a lot on why
your city home is crappy. Is it poorly maintained or something?
\_ If you didn't understand the question, what was the thing that
"depends a lot on why your city home is crappy" you're talking
about?
\_ Yeah, I have a similar problem I need to ask the MOTD about.
I bought a crappy city home, with neighbors on both sides of me,
a tiny lot and no garage, about four years ago. I looked on zillow
and now it is worth $600k more than I paid for it! Should I sell
it, along with its ten minute commute, walking distance to stores,
cafes, restaurants and my daughter's school and move to beautiful
suburban Antioch, where I can get a nice big 4 bedroom, 2 bath
home on a big lot with just the equity in my shitty city home?
I figure I can buy a nice big Hummer for the 1 hour each way
commute. Wouldn't I be much happier if I did that?

\_ If you were serious I'd answer your question but you're not.
To the OP, the price of your home already reflects the closeness
to jobs, etc. Move the same house to the suburbs and the value
would be near-zero. Your entire value is based on short distance
to other desirable locations not the place itself. A suburban
house here will cost more than a 'crappy city home' in a place
like Dallas. Why? Because jobs here are higher paying, etc,
and Dallas is dead. Some people are willing to drive or BART
into the city to get a nicer home elsewhere. Other people
actually live and work in the suburbs and *never* go anywhere
near the city and somehow survive, while others never leave
the city for any reason if they can at all help it. To each
his own.
\_ My question is certainly more serious than the OP's. -PP |
