Made the mistake of looking at real estate in Georgia (US) last night.

@Gina @pettter That's my daily commute to work.

@Gina USA is the best place to live if you fulfill 2 things. Be white, be rich.

@MisterMaker One down, two to go. 🥲

Edit: given the current circumstances around womens reproductive rights I'd add "be a man" to the list as well.

@Gina God no. Those are generally known as "cardboard houses". Note how thin the walls are. Minimal insulation. Relatively cheap and fast to build though.

Northern Europe has real log (beam) houses, which are nothing like that cardboard house, although you think they look similar?

Plenty here in Lithuania waiting for someone to restore them. And some forest still standing here and there

One modern, cost-effective alternative are wood framed, straw bale filled houses, which offer good insulation.

@Gina Those things only affect you if you are poor.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@yngmar yeah but think of how hilarious it is when you one day decide to knock down a wall and you can just do it with.. your bare hands.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@MisterMaker Good point.

[aaronmccollum@fosstodon.org]

@Gina @pettter Yes. Yes it is

@Gina If you ever moved here, we'd love to have you!

@Gina Check out the Republic of Ireland. Countryside, NOT city and surroundings.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@lgeurts doesnt it rain non stop there?

[murraywindripper@fosstodon.org]

@Gina
I've got family out there. I went to visit once. You wouldn't like it, especially now.

@Gina Nope
