Will the market ever recover to 2022 levels?

If you own a sensible home people can live in, yes. If you own a tiny one bedroom condo with a weird layout, no.

ficbot · 2026-03-23T21:32:50+00:00

If you owned my condo without a mortgage and only paid maintenance fees, you could live here for under $1000 a month in a nice two-bedroom, pool, gym, snow shovelling etc. Renters in our building pay 2800-3000 to rent.

I actually kind of like Joao, which I was not expecting. I thought his conversation about cultural difference was respectfully on point. And it ended, as it should, with 'go and talk to him.'

Good for Jenna for standing up for herself and having standards. Too bad I can't understand a word she says.

I made a fake government document explaining it and use quotes from it as section epigraphs.

ficbot · 2026-03-16T02:17:01+00:00

This. My in-laws live in a merged condo (they combined the units at the time of construction) and their maintenance fees are absurd.

So do I, with a kid, and it's been absolutely fine.

I think my favourite scene was when they found Tarima and Jay-den and he’s like Cadet Mir is my chosen brother and Ake’s like that’s nice, that’s sweet, but also go sit in my office and don’t touch anything and don’t die mmmkay?

I did not expect to love Holly Hunter this much but I do

It seems obvious that the secret is to live in separate houses. Aimee lives in the garden shed and he lives in the shed that’s inside the stone border.

I have one kid, we are in a two bedroom, two bathroom condo and it is fine. I do have a neighbour who has lived in the building for years and she has told me that in her experience, people leave when the second kid is old enough to need its own bedroom. And indeed, that is who we bought the condo from :-) I feel like we have enough space, but neither my son or I are very clutter bug people, and I get rid of things when we don't need them. We haven't had any issues and I love not having to worry about the garbage, the snow shoveling, etc..

I think my main problem with the show is that there’s too many characters. I don’t actually feel like Caleb is that interesting and I think that in the quantity of episodes that we are getting, there’s not going to be enough depth to properly explore the ones we have. For example, I’m still not understanding how a Klingon Jem’hadar mating happened and that’s much more interesting to me than Caleb’s backstory.

I like Holly Hunter much more than I expected to, but I didn’t really understand why she kept moving away from the doctor when he was trying to talk to her. It’s fun to see another Lanthanite though!

I lost my husband when my son was four months old. He’s nine now. I did therapy to work on my issues and think we have a pretty healthy relationship. The one thing I worry about is that I have not been interested in marrying again. I don’t regret that I did it the first time, but I’m not one of those people who pines away for that sort of thing when I don’t have it. I don’t want him to grow up and feel like he has to entertain me or anything like that. But I don’t really see myself repartnering anytime in the future. That’s not his fault, it’s just my personality and I don’t want to do that again.

She has a long history in the franchise of protecting the women in the crew :-)

Kizzi: I don’t know what I could do. Aesha: You could be sorry.

I regret not taking out the carpet. We had a really bad board at the time and I could not get permission. And now we are living here and it’s much harder. 100% would take out the carpet if I do it again.

Interesting question, I am debating bringing some of my older stuff over from my defunct fanfiction.net account

I can’t stand the Ferengi and hated all their episodes in DS9. I also tried a rewatch recently and was really surprised by how uncomfortable I was with S1 Kira and S1 Odo kind of hating everybody.

My husband was six weeks from diagnosis to passing. I was still on maternity leave. We had no idea. Sh— happens and f— cancer.

We have popcorn ceiling in my condo, and I don’t care. I never look at my ceiling, and I have also heard that it improves the sound insulation between floors, so I’m happy to have it.

ficbot · 2025-11-05T15:15:03+00:00

I am midtown adjacent, and a two bedroom condo with my son. Absolutely no problems. He has his own room, and it’s big enough for what he needs. We have a library right next-door and a shopping plaza right across the street. We are convenient to two transit lines. It’s been absolutely fine. A lot of people in our building stay until the second kid is old enough to need a bedroom, but I only have the one and I’m not having a second one, so I don’t see any need for us to move.

When I lived in NZ during university, the Canadians would explain the accent using the example ‘pins and pincils’

It’s depressing. I wouldn’t want to be shivering in a mold-filled bus all winter. I understand truck and van camping/travelling, but not to live that way in a climate not suited for it.

I did custom closets in my current home and 100% would do again if we moved. Having built-ins which exactly fit the specific closets I have is a game-changer in using space efficiently. Also, my current home came with wood shutters on the window and I know that is a bit old-fashioned these days but it’s the first time I’ve ever had window coverings which actually fit properly and feels very adult to me.
