only buy new construction in 2028, when we have had 4 years of ice being funded as the 4th largest army in the world, construction stands will finally return to 1990s level

The arial doesn't do it justice. That retaining wall in the back is like 10' away and everything above it is useless as a yard. The front yard is also sloped and virtually unusable.

i spent 2 weeks w/ 2 privilege nieces (10/8) in a tiny san jose 1500sq/ft home 4adults 2kids. they complained they had to share a room, the living room was non existant, the place was too hot. the only upside was we got this place b/c it had a hottub and a pool (these 2 are on swim teams)
the pool is too cold!!!
in san jose
their home is 6k sq/ft for a family for 4
i say keep the house and grow your family there if theres no job opportunity forcing you to move, then you won't have these entitled bitches, and hey i love these kids but jesus christ
(the upside is that i have never had them over in tn yet, b/c my house is ONLY 2k sq/ft, w/ just me and wife, house is too small to house all of yous for a week)

Yeah. A lot of things can impact size requirements. He has a bunch of kids, and 2 WFH, so bigger absolutely = better.
For me, it's just myself and GF. She doesn't care for huge houses, but wants useful space. We have a few home plans picked out, both around 2500 sq/ft. They are open plans, 1.5 floors. Top floor has two separate rooms, one bath. Perfect for office areas. Plenty of room for living and not getting on each other's nerves.

In my neighborhood in Dallas the lots are around 1/3rd acre. Houses originally built as 2400-2600 sq ft houses. Now every person who moves out the house gets snatched up, then tear it down and drop a 4000 sq ft 2 story McMansion on it. Although the last couple of those they have done have now been sitting on the market unsold for a month+ so I wonder if that trend is running out of steam, or if their prices are just to far up there.

We have a family of four and both my wife and I WFH in a 2200 sq foot 3/2. While I wouldn't mind a dedicated office that isn't a corner of my bedroom (wife works in bonus room), I honestly don't know what I'd do with double the square footage and I wouldn't want the maintenance. We entertain plenty, to the point where we had 35 people last Thanksgiving, and it didn't feel cramped. People just don't know how to use space.

Mentioned it before but a friend of mine right out of college got married and bought a house in Katy, TX where it was really booming 30 years ago. Building houses in what had beeb a prairie and mostly good hunting. Anyway the house was so close to the neighbor when it rained hard (and it rains hard a lot in Houston) the water would run off the neighbors roof onto their wall and it sounded like someone was shooting water with a fire hose to the house. Not for me and crazy. They moved shortly after.

Ours is a shared hobby room. It gets used as a dining room three times a year.

Is this forum truly anonymous? Lots of dallas folks around. Curious if there's ever been a meetup

Ours became the home of our "big ass F shaped desk" and our home office out of which I work. We still have a dining table in one end, and I admit we reconfigure it around the holidays to host Thanksgiving/Xmas at our house.
I don't know of any in person meetings from the forums. Honestly, if a lot of the Dallasites wanted to get together for a drink somewhere I wouldn't be opposed, but some do want to make sure they can't ever be doxxed and meeting in person is very anathema to that.

Most people on here are completely okay I'm sure but there are enough complete degenerates and assholes that you wouldn't want your real identity associated with here.

There have been a few meet ups over the years- but also mostly those that self-fizz in pic thread etc.
It would be odd to meet up and everyone is like “FoH? Yeah? Cool- okay no usernames bro, lol.”
On houses… sad events may be moving my mother in law in now rather than way way later… houses w/ in-law suites just do not exist in my area sans multi million houses.
