yep Tom, that was me.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

Because books.
Oh wow, Sophia, that is adorable.
Many, many houses like that are available where I live, at that price, but no one (in their right mind) wants to live here. For many reasons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that is charming! But the kitchen must be busted -- there are no pictures of it.

What a lovely house. I especially like the wooden floors. The 1-bath aspect seems less fun, but at that price I expect one could put another bathroom in, assuming there aren't other problems with the place.

Sigh. I can't help but think that the thing that's wrong isn't the price of *that* house. It's the price of housing in LA (or NY or Seattle or SF etc) that's out of whack.

Nice house ... at that price, in DC, you might be able to get a parking space.

I could see a house like that going for that price in Kansas City, but only if was located in the right, or wrong depending on your perspective, place.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Wow. That's about half what you'd get for a house like that here, and Northeast Arkansas isn't exactly the land of skyrocketing housing costs.
I wonder what the horrible downside is that's making the owners sell it for a song ? Crumbling foundation or rotted timbers might be a dealbreaker, but psychotic former occupant about to be paroled might be worth taking a chance on...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
