      You’re full of great arguments. But I don’t think any of them top “you got preferences? That’s stupid”

        No, I said something more like “if you make your preferences so limited that you discount 99.5% of your possibilities, you’re going to find yourself with very few options.” Which is, more or less, a truism.

        Sorry I hurt you.

          The more common viewpoint which actually deserves criticism is “I was born here and that makes it the best place so I would never travel or live anywhere else. I prefer exactly one 200 mile radius, forever”.

          This viewpoint is very common in the “99.5%” of the world I’m “missing out on”

            ? Yes, I suppose that would deserve criticism. There are innumerable common viewpoints about all kinds of things that probably deserve criticism, but I don’t think we have the space or time to litigate them all here…again, this is a comment thread responding to the original post…

          I have all of the preferences you criticize and that leaves me with… Several options… that I actually would want to live in. And shockingly , my preferences don’t absolutely dictate where I live because I understand nothing is perfect. It’s a big country and world. Let people have preferences without being weird about it

            You realize this is a comment thread that is responding to the OP’s “starter pack” image, right? The entire premise of the image is: I have extremely bounded preferences, but it’s unfair I can’t buy a house for 200K based on those preferences.

            Did you buy the home you currently own in a location that satisfied these preferences for 200K or less? Or are you just responding to my response and not the image to which I was responding?

            I have no problem with people having exceptionally limiting preferences, but it seems silly to then complain about the lack (or cost) of those very limited options.

              I don’t own a home and I’ll keep it that way unless there’s a good investment opportunity.

              I think you’re missing the point of the post. They’re making fun of people who think a $200K home is great because they’ve gotta ignore that they live in a shit hole to get that price
