You think those homes in the frozen north are selling for less than $200,000?
I wish...
Actually, the car that's being towed is the affordable home, not the houses in the background. There is even a subreddit about this, r/priusdwellers (idk if there's a comparable community on lemmy).
Lol
Michigan is cheap and has wicked winters, so yeah.
That's like a few inches!? As a Canadian, there's no where that doesn't get that. I live in the mildest city in the country, and we get more than that most years.
I miss snow. :(
Around here 2 inches will shut down every business and school in the state and cause huge pileups regularly at intersections and on highways. It's not always about the amount of snow but about how prepared the community is to handle it. Plus when warmer climates do get winter weather it can be worse on the roads than colder locations because the snow will often partially melt then refreeze as a smooth slab of ice.
I think that's actually what this meme is intending. All of these are indicative of the US south.
No snow, not hot, nothing rural, not conservative? You've just cut out more than 99% of the country. There's barely any snow on that road. That means basically nothing north of, like, Oklahoma.
"Nothing is affordable in the .5% of the country I deem worthy of living in!"
The snow pic admittedly isn't that bad, but most places aren't as chronically hot as the other pics imply. Many people would have to be straight up suicidal to try and live around such open bigots. I don't have a choice; I have to live away from that shit for my own safety. The worst part is that I hate cities. The extremism from the right has literally ruined rural living for people like me.
Also, if being a treasonous bigot is considered simply "conservative," then we're in deep shit.
They're hyperbolic images. "Winter" is too cold, a heat wave in Arizona is too hot, the house that treason built is too conservative, the house that is falling down with no visible community around it is too rural.
My point is simply that if one's criteria is "can't be: hot, cold, conservative, or rural," you're discounting the overwhelming majority of the country. If you'd like to debate the finer, literal details of each individual photograph, that's fine. I was responding to what they seem to connote rather than strictly what they denote.

I love driving in the snow but most people where I live suck at it. We have so many accidents each winter
I'm eyeing the property in the middle image. That's a bargain. Does it comes with the pile of wood?
Here in Germany you get a garage for 200k. If you're lucky. Small houses you can live in start at half a million! They press you into paying till you're old, and they're doing it for decades. I worked hard and creatively to never get caught in this, I'm in my mind 40s now and slowly I could buy or build a house. But now my children are adults and we don't really need one. So what, let's waste the money. Creatively ;)
Our family recently purchased a house with two floors for 100k. Its in RLP and pretty close to a city. So it is still possible to find acceptable prices, but you really gotta look.
Which area of Germany?
Snow will seem like a luxury, the way the climate is going…
phoenix is not an affordable place to live
Minneapolis will definitely get snow, but there isn’t towing in that depth of snow. That’s child’s play.
It’s a truly lovely place to live though. Yeah winters are a chore, but we go hard in summer. And there’s some excellent camping within less than an hour’s drive.
Twin Cities for $200k? Fuckin where?
Alright I forgot about that one. But I think the East Side of Saint Paul and North Minneapolis both have some cheap housing. Not great neighborhoods, but they’re on the up.
Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves, when the breeze penetrates these southside trees.
Leanin' up against one, watchin the vibe, forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive.
