The banks wouldn't write those loans for something they expect to go down in value.
I suppose you could always buy a mobile home.

ChatGPT suggests the land might have appreciated, the neighborhood may be more desirable, inflation, or development potential. We don't need programmers anymore because LLMs can do it. It must be an expert on home values too.

> Why are you then owed money? Why is that a fair expectation?
Because getting the mortgage to buy the house involves parting with a large sum of money, after which some part of the mortgage payment goes towards something called principal. If it just goes towards interest, it may as well be rent.
Not to mention that when you try to sell the thing, there's some expectation by one or more third parties of some percentage of it.

I misjudged the tone of your comment at the time I wrote that. My bad.
Personally, I'm still dealing with fallout from temporary cannabis-induced psychosis.
Keep the downvotes coming. Points matter.

Thank you for your contribution to the ongoing stigma surrounding mental illness. Never forget, you are the hero of this story.

Having experienced a temporary period like this as a result of cannabis use, it really doesn't help when people you know who didn't previously talk start sharing their concerns with each other. Filtering out the 'connections' in ordinary everyday stuff described by another poster is hard enough without having to speculate whether something you said to one person is causing someone else to act weird.

Then why are the extroverts trying to replace engineers with AI?
