At this point as an <30 year old I’ve abandoned all hope of retiring in the US. I’ll have to spend my golden years elsewhere.
What sort of vehicles do you drive? How often do you eat out? How many streaming services are you subscribed to?

Yep that $15 HBO Max subscription is really holding back retirement

We have a problem of perception becoming reality in this country.
The news has always been bad. The 70s and early 80s were a much worse time economically than now, but we weren’t inundated with bad news and politics on varying screen sizes 24/7.
There were newspapers and 30 minutes of TV news in the evening. The rest of the time we were doing more useful and fun things often outside the home in a social setting.

I wish I could still fit everything I own in a place that small. Still in a sub 1000 sf home but I have a big shed.

Depends on what my other options are. Would be better than living in a sketchy apartment complex.
If you’re single and worked from home, you could easily make that work and put your office upstairs. I wouldn’t mind the confined space except for the lack of storage space for all my crap I should get rid of anyway.
You’d most likely have issues with the neighbors, so not somewhere I’d want to live long term. Which makes buying something like this ridiculous.

I would rather live here than a tiny apartment where I have neighbors on either side and above/below me. At least there is some separation with a tiny house.

That's why they changed it from Master Bedroom.

A modern twist on the "shotgun" house?

I'm not the target market, but I have no problem with the home or the price.

For what I pay here in SD, absolutely. But I'm single. If I were married with kids I'd want more room, but this would be more than enough room for just me.

So it's a trailer with a loft and a shitty strip of land
With the exception, of course, that a trailer depreciates in value, just like a car.

That's plenty of room for two and half Mexican families.

These also depreciate in value lol.

660sq ft in these is wasted due to being two story. You could make a lot better use of 660 sq ft in a single story.
I agree, but the developer would lose the 160K price point. In comparison, single story 660SF homes will have a larger footprint, requiring more land which adds to the 160K price point. The other alternative would be less units (profit) per development. Given the parameters, the 160K price point, note under 1000/mo, it's not bad as a 2 story.

Hell no.
I bought a $179k house in Helena, AL (nice Birmingham suburb) back in 2009. It was a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house with a finished basement. About 2400 square feet. Nice dining room. Breakfast area in a kitchen with plenty of counterspace. Our master bedroom had a walk-in closet, a dual vanity bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. A walk in shower. 1 full acre in the backyard alone. Nice front yard. Good neighborhood. I don't really remember the interest rate, but it was below 4%.
That house was 22 minutes from downtown Birmingham.
The Elm Trails house is 19 minutes from the city center of San Antonio. Probably paying way more per month than my first house considering Texas property taxes and interest rates.
What the hell is happening to the world?
It's absurd what's happened to housing costs.

Looks like the houses at the FBI training center.

If I was single, no. Townhomes are nice for a reason for single city dwellers.

$160k? Total bullshite. Builder likely paid $30k for that.
I’m so glad I got my $200k 3br/2ba at 2.5% in 2020. Will never move again
