    One acre. By a lake. But I still feel it’s ridiculous. I hate the idea of what’s market value. To me it’s what is decent as a human being.

      One acre by WHAT lake? This looks like a fucking bargain compared to a lot of places. Lakefront property is highly sought after everywhere.

      Land where I live runs about $1M/acre.

      Decent’s got nothing to do with it.

          What does morality have to do with it? Couldn’t it be considered immoral to your family to sell for less than fair market value?

              The “fair” market price is what someone is willing to pay. If it’s not sane, then it won’t sell. Unless you sell to an insane person, in which case, good for you and them, I guess.

              I’m not in the market for million dollar properties, so hyper sane over here.

          “Owning” land isn’t moral, but we’ve normalized it over the past few millennia so it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

            I will take “accepted by most societies over millennia” as a pretty good definition of “moral”.

              Most societies also killed gay people, refused to help handicapped people, refused women any day in anything, etc etc for millennia and those are all immoral as well.

              Just because things were done a certain way doesn’t mean that’s the right way

                Yeah, I’m going to keep on owning land without worrying if it’s moral or not.

      It’s funny. I’m on vacation in a primarily summer destination, and my wife and I checked out some lake properties in zillow. She thought I was nuts when I said a house we saw was probably a cool mill. Found properties listed for up to $4m. Property values are bonkers.
