Sounds to me like author has had some bad experiences and is trying to generalize them. But I would have been curious to read about those things directly that inspired the author to write this, instead of the indirect points. It all seems reasonable stuff that most of us do when picking a place to live, work, etc. Of course buying a house will pin you to the surrounding area. And I don't know if anybody does that without at least examining the house and area in person at least once, instead of just going by photos. Anyway.
- virgilp 5y agoYou'd be surprised how otherwise perfectly rational people look at irrelevant stuff (furniture, interior design) and miss important things (floor plans; neighbors; practical aspects like storage space, number and position of bathrooms, etc)
- artpi 5y agoPrecisely the opposite! Author is annoyed listening to friends complaining about mistakes that would have been easily avoided if they took time to think.
- foobarian 5y agoI appreciate your reply. Understandable that it probably would not be too polite to go into identifiable details in public then. :)
