    A house costs a year? There’s a house being built near me and it’s been under construction for about a year by several teams of workers plus the owners every afternoon and weekend. (this is in Germany so it’s not made of matches and paper). And that’s not counting the hours needed to extract the raw materials and process them into bricks, insulation, glass, cables or pipes. There’s a TON of labor to build a modern house.

      I mean, maybe. But a year seems like a lot for a full team, so either that team is not working as much and as consistently as you’d think OR that house is worth a lot more than a year.

      Skill issue. They build houses out of concrete here in China in like a month, in Japan they use wood and do the same, tho they lose all value after 30 years.

        Yeah, but we have Ethernet in every room, filtered ventilation systems, heat pumps, solar with storage, water acconditioning systems and in winter we can heat it up by a fart.

        Plus our workers don’t do 996 and have sick days, vacation and others.
