I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts
I don't know if you meant for it to come off this way or not, but to me it reads like you're saying people who own homes shouldn't complain about small things. Someone else always has it worse. That doesn't mean those who are better off have no right to complain about things that annoy them (especially on the community made for complaining about mildly infuriating things).
I think it's the fact OP is calling their neighbor an asshole for fixing their fence in a less than perfect way that really irked me. I get annoyed when privileged people want to play the victim; it's something I know I should work on, but right now it's a part of my character.
I get you. Until I noticed the spiked aspect of the new boards I didn’t see the problem. A repaired fence > unrepaired fence. I think it’s great.
The 3 inch nails protruding through the rails are much more complaint-worthy than the too-tall pickets.
What if they were 9 inch nails instead? I've heard people like them
They don't even come close to the home owners fence bro
I also wish the same for us both. But I'd like to remind you, people who rent can also find themselves complaining about the neighbour's mismatched fenceposts
Good news is that many landlords excel at this level of craftsmanship.
Check where you are, because come on, that's the whole point of this community
There are things I can relate to, and this is not one of them. Hence my comment
I'm more than mildly infuriated I will likely never own a home.
have you looked into the United States department of agricultures direct loan program?
Have you tried looking for a home somewhere undesirable
One of the issues with that is that unless you are WFH, you would very likely have to find another job that is commutable. With local salaries more of less being intertwined with the housing, (see cost of living) the new job would also very likely put you in the same position you started with.
What? Like in-between lanes on the freeway?
I was thinking Ohio, but sure
Please keep spreading this narrative. Gotta keep housing prices down. Got an awesome price on my new house several years ago.
Yup. And people keep posting from the hottest markets in the US. "I can't believe the prices in Palo Alto!" Live in a rural area and have a shitty commute like the rest of us.
The main driver of the "I'll never be able to buy a house" narrative are mortgage interest rates, which are transient. When rates go back down, people will suddenly be able to afford many more options. But yeah, every now and then I look at how much house I could buy in Michigan...
Wait, are we in mildyinfuriatinghomeownerproblems?
