After 100 years of renovation and property taxes, how much of the original house's purchase value is even left? I guess an argument can be made that all of the latter costs are incremental and therefore easier to afford.

A fine point, but not really relevant as the discussion was about the cost of acquisition.

I thought that that the original discussion was about how the house increased in value, not about costs of acquisitions. My mistake!
