- phonebanshee 4y agoHow much of that is just a cost thing? Is hiring people to do home maintenance inexpensive and easily available where you are? That's usually not the case in American cities.
- wyclif 4y agoSome of it is cost. And almost everyone knows a handyman or somebody in the neighbourhood who is an electrician, concrete guy, tile guy, &c. But part of it is cultural. It's considered a form of virtue signalling to have a bunch of servants or workers on your property. Most middle class people also have maids, nannies, drivers, and such.
