Doubtful you know what "the humanities" are. Without them, you'd be
living in a cave.

I'm already living in a cave!

He was right. You didn't have them.


Huh? My cave is a very nice cave. Market value around $1.4 million.

And would probably sell for $175,000 in a more rationally priced market.

Even here properties are going for outrageous prices. A former co-worker just sold her house a block away from me for around $700k
That is about 15 times what they paid for the house in the early 70s. I remember because it was one of our retiring engineers selling and I wished I had heard about the sale before the deed was done. The current sellers had done a lot of upgrades but it still looked like a cottage or small story and a half.

$700k won't buy a preFIRM* house on the river right now. Land locked
FIRM compliant houses in the neighborhood go for $500k and up.
In 1984 I paid $72.5k for this one. (on the water, gulf access, no
bridges)

*That is one that FEMA hates and your insurance will be $7k a year or
more. It can't be renovated or repaired over 50% unless you lift up
the whole house ~7 feet.
