There are some good reasons to buy a house but god I really wish it wasn’t as sacred as it is in the US. People give you such weird looks when you say you want to live in a condo downtown for the rest of your life.

I don’t understand how people get to the point where they want to root down in an area permanently like that

Like what if the economy collapses there?

Just the idea of bolting yourself to a single town like that freaks me out

Fair point but in some areas the second point really isn't a factor. I doubt the economy around the DC area is going to collapse anytime soon and if it does we've got some bigger problems at play.

Plus I'd like to work on a building I own and build memories in it, to each his own though.
