I recognize that houses in Europe are more like 1,200 square feet but the lower population density in the U.S. and cheaper land plus the fact that old money doesn't own all the land means housing is less expensive here.
but...
You still moved the goal posts. It's an average size house for the U.S. (and Australia by the way).
If you want the same, move here. Or drop your population density. Or pry free some of that land owned by the wealthy in your country. 99 year *leases*? Seriously? Should be illegal.
Oh, sorry--- didn't realize you were typing on a commodore 64 powered by a bicycle powered generator in your grass hut.
Perhaps I can help you with your back strain from moving the goalposts all the way from a 7,000 square foot house in your original post to a modest 2200 square foot house.

Who sold you *that* license? There's no such thing as Office 2012. It went from 2010 to 2013.

That may be a great solution for you, but it's about $12000 or more out of reach for over half the population.
So, based on your value system, why should their tax dollars go to build your road system? And why should their property be taken by eminent domain to build your road system?
The biggest trend in your favor is working from home. Then you don't need a road system.
Good jobs until one day the job was gone and then they were unhirable.
We need to stop companies from being the primary source for health care. It pushes them into laying people off and not hiring people over 50.
I saw this coming when I was 32 and was able to retire at 51 but I doubt I could get more than a minwage job even tho I was a manager of over a dozen developers in multiple countries on multi-billion dollar projects.
Fact is, AR-15's are only mildly less powerful that fully automatic machineguns.
Fully automatic machineguns haven't been used in a mass shooting in decades ( I think the st. valentines day massacre was the last one which prompted the then NRA to help right the bill to ban weapons of such horrific killing power (7 people were killed in one shootout).
We need to limit magazines to 12 shots. After a trade in period, any larger magazines should be treated as fully automatic weapons. The owner would have to store them offsite at a 3rd party. They would be expensive to buy and expensive to continue owning. Possession an unregistered larger magazine would be the same kind of serious federal crime as possession an unlicensed fully automatic weapon.
We also need to tax bullets except at gun ranges. The taxes should be allocated to victims of illegal gun shootings treatment, rehabilitation and funeral bills. The tax for a given year would be based on the prior years bullet sales and that year's cost of treatment, rehabilitation, and funeral bills.
It's time for conservatives to stop dining on the liberal tears of 9th grade survivors of conservative policies.

No, the luddites mostly starved and died of exposure. At least the ones that were not killed by the army.
They were right- they needed training on the new technology (training that was denied to them).
In the long run, things may be fine but in the short run, you could be dead of starvation and exposure, beaten by police and told to move on down the road (because it's not even profitable to arrest and jail you- as has happened already in the u.s. commonly during the great depression), denied any food assistance (thanks republicans!)
Your statement is in direct contradiction to what I just did above which was to post the misleading news and then post the actual data.
I also recommend watching and listening to a wide range of media. However, Fox has basically descended to a propaganda arm.. Frequently, when the entire world is presenting a news story, they completely ignore it (suppress it really) so people who rely on Fox only are not even aware the event occured.
Wapo, The Economist, and the NY times are better sources than CNN and MSNBC. MSNBC actually has a fairly pro-wealthy bias. They'll talk about how you can't raise taxes on the "job creators" (in the face of evidence that the "job creators" mostly invest in China- and any investment in the west is mostly in government bonds).
Two of the major creators of fake news said liberals don't bite and conservative/mr. trump fans do. One made thousands of dollars a month based on that observation. You can't ignore that fact.
I used to be a conservative. Their hypocrisy and lying drove me from the republican party halfway thru my voting life.
The so-called "fiscal conservatives" are already on target to add 7.8 trillion dollars to the debt. If this goes on, we are on track for them to add 32 trillion dollars to the debt.
(and fact checking that- it looks like it's exploded since I read the prior article. Now it's 8.7 to 10 trillion dollars in new debt (just over 1 year into the Trump presidency).
TBILISI, Georgia â" Jobless and with graduation looming, a computer science student at the premier university in the nation of Georgia decided early this year that money could be made from Americaâ(TM)s voracious appetite for passionately partisan political news. He set up a website, posted gushing stories about Hillary Clinton and waited for ad sales to soar.
âoeI donâ(TM)t know why, but it did not work,â said the student, Beqa Latsabidze, 22, who was savvy enough to change course when he realized what did drive traffic: laudatory stories about Donald J. Trump that mixed real â" and completely fake â" news in a stew of anti-Clinton fervor.
More than 6,000 miles away in Vancouver, a Canadian who runs a satirical website, John Egan, had made a similar observation. Mr. Eganâ(TM)s site, The Burrard Street Journal, offers sendups of the news, not fake news, and he is not trying to fool anyone. But he, too, discovered that writing about Mr. Trump was a âoegold mine.â His traffic soared and his work, notably a story that President Obama would move to Canada if Mr. Trump won, was plundered by Mr. Latsabidze and other internet entrepreneurs for their own websites.
âoeItâ(TM)s all Trump,â Mr. Egan said by telephone. âoePeople go nuts for it.â
If his pro-Clinton site had taken off, he said, he would have pressed on with that, but âoepeople did not engage,â so he focused on serving pro-Trump supporters instead. They, he quickly realized, were a far more receptive audience âoebecause they are angryâ and eager to read outrageous tales.
âoeFor me, this is all about income, nothing more,â he added.

So yup, conservatives and republicans went crazy reading fake pro-trump, anti clinton stories written by this guy's staff of writers. Unlike the 13 Russians just indicted, Beqa didn't even care politically. He was just trying to drive ad hits.

Even tho liberals are against guns, more are for factual data.
Horner was known for writing false stories and disseminating internet hoaxes that often went viral on Facebook and hoodwinked thousands of people.
They included a story falsely claiming former President Obama was gay and a radical Muslim, and another saying protesters were being paid thousands of dollars to demonstrate at Donald Trump's campaign rallies.
Horner took on greater prominence during the presidential election when false stories were widely shared on social media during the race between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with The Washington Post in 2016, Horner said he thought Trump won the White House because of him. Horner said Trump's supporters didn't fact-check his stories before posting them....
The fake news mill over seas said the same thing. Liberals fact checked stories so the stories couldn't get traction. So after a short time, all their stories were targeted at convervatives.
On the other hand... We are about 4 billion over the carrying capacity of the planet in terms of raw resource usage (like chromium, manganese, etc.); water problems are popping up. We can't indefinately increase the amount of energy per person at the current rate. Actually, if we do (ignoring global warming and just looking at the earth's ability to radiate raw heat away) continue to increase at this rate, the surface temperature of the earth will be over 212 degrees within 500 years (again- ignoring global warming).
There is a risk of being in a behaviour sink tho- Calhoun's rats suffered breeding rate problems and in the presence of plentiful space, food and water they went extinct.
So while we have too many, we don't want to overshoot either.
That is like saying since we can only reduce the child abuse rate by 99.9999% by licensing day care owners and checking their criminal records is pointless because we can't reduce it to 0%.
Licensing greatly reduces problems.
Trust me, you do *not* want an unlicensed plumber doing any serious work on your house.
And many regulations involving plumbing, gas, and electrical work are there due to very unlikely events that hurt or killed people. The chance it will kill someone is one in a million. So regulations like that which seem nonsensical or overbearing save about 3500 lives per decade.

They included a story falsely claiming former President Obama was gay and a radical Muslim, and another saying protesters were being paid thousands of dollars to demonstrate at Donald Trump's campaign rallies.
Horner took on greater prominence during the presidential election when false stories were widely shared on social media during the race between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with The Washington Post in 2016, Horner said he thought Trump won the White House because of him. Horner said Trump's supporters didn't fact-check his stories before posting them. ...
The fake news mill over seas said the same thing. Liberals fact checked stories so the stories couldn't get traction. So after a short time, all their stories were targeted at convervatives.
Like Mulder, conservatives wanted to believe.
On the other hand... We are about 4 billion over the carrying capacity of the planet in terms of raw resource usage (like chromium, manganese, etc.); water problems are popping up. We can't indefinately increase the amount of energy per person at the current rate. Actually, if we do (ignoring global warming and just looking at the earth's ability to radiate raw heat away) continue to increase at this rate, the surface temperature of the earth will be over 212 degrees within 500 years (again- ignoring global warming).
There is a risk of being in a behaviour sink tho- Calhoun's rats suffered breeding rate problems and in the presence of plentiful space, food and water they went extinct.
So while we have too many, we don't want to overshoot either.
That is like saying since we can only reduce the child abuse rate by 99.9999% by licensing day care owners and checking their criminal records is pointless because we can't reduce it to 0%.
Licensing greatly reduces problems.
Trust me, you do *not* want an unlicensed plumber doing any serious work on your house.
And many regulations involving plumbing, gas, and electrical work are there due to very unlikely events that hurt or killed people. The chance it will kill someone is one in a million. So regulations like that which seem nonsensical or overbearing save about 3500 lives per decade.
