I don’t know where this is…but in my area that house is easily $1.5M.
Fun fact: Al Bundy got that house because he convinced recruiters that he would play college football at their schools. So the boosters paid for that house. Then Peggy came along and got pregnant and the boosters were upset. Al owns the house but he works at the shoe store to pay back the money he got from the boosters.
(THIS IS NOT A REAL FACT)
That’s 1.5mil in the greater Boston area.
His name is Al Bundy. Say his name!
That’s in Deerfield Illinois for those curious.
If we are all priced out of the world, where will we go?
Without looking at Zillow I am guessing this house was built in the 60’s. That would have been a “big” house compared back then to today’s one obviously.
Does it come with a Dodge?
Everyone is saying how much more expensive that house would be in Toronto or California. I’m going the other way.
That house would probably be around $150,000 in Oklahoma.
It was so normal looking when I was young. Two kids, dog, stay at home wife, single earner ladies shoes salesmen.
Bob’s Burgers is probably the best representation of the life of a working family on tv in today’s economy
Homer Simpson should not have the job or life he has, and I could never afford his house payments
Peter Griffin doesn’t work most of the time and the only reason they can keep the house is Lois’ rich father pays the mortgage
But the Belcher’s feel like my neighbors
I was reading a true story from the 1930s in Vancouver about a man who owned a large house with a homemaker wife and 4 kids. He was a taxi driver. In the area of town he lived in houses routinely go for over $2 million today. Its hard to imagine there was a time when having just about any full time job meant you could easily afford to own a house.
Laughs (cries) in Vancouver
Sad thing is. This house, if it was in Vancouver BC Canada, would be worth $2,000,000CAD
Al Bundy
The man we laughed at as kids because he had a crappy job, crappy home, crappy car, an annoying nagging no job wife, stupid kids and neighbors bugging him all the time.
Al Bundy
the man we admire as adults because with a single “entry level” job with no diploma required he was able to afford a home, a car, support an entire family alone, had a pretty wife that was always horny, beautiful kids that caused not too much trouble, and neighbors that somewhat cared for him to have social interactions with.
Al Bundy as a kid was a joke. Al Bundy as a adult is living an impossible dream.
The shoe salesman’s house?! It’s Al fucking Bundy dude. Wtf
Who’s that riding into the sun?
Who’s the man with the itchy gun?
Who’s the man who kills for fun?
Psycho Dad,
Psycho Dad,
Psycho Dad.
He sleeps with a gun
but he loves his son
Killed his wife ‘cos she weighed a ton.
He’s Psycho Dad!
When you think about it you have people trying to buy houses to live in, land lords trying to buy houses to flip or rent, and corporations trying to buy houses to rent and then package the mortgages into securities to sell and speculate on.
There needs to be a law to make homes only for families or individuals to live in ASAP
Sadder punchline is the annual property taxes on that house are likely hovering around $10k a year. No joke.
Worth pointing out that in the early 80s home mortgages carried interest rates close to credit cards… upwards of 15 percent in many cases.
That house was no big deal 30 years ago. I had teachers who’s wives didn’t have a job who had houses like that.
Nobody has any purchasing power anymore. And that is by design.
This is just every grandparents house ever. Ya know, the ones they had built in an “exciting new complex” surrounded by corn fields when it was built but is now surrounded by a highway and other complxeses
That “shoe salesman “ has a name asshole!!
His name is Al Bundy and this man once scored 4 touchdowns in one game at Polk High!! He went on to marry his high school sweetheart Leila Bundy and have this hottie Kelly Bundy who was responsible for destroying my bedsheets..
My dad used to watch this show religiously. Late night, he’d fall asleep with it on and I’ll never forget trying to sneak to the kitchen one night when this big woman says “How dare you say that to my face!” and Al responds with “Well, I’d say it behind your back but my car only has half a tank.” I fucking lost it and woke my dad laughing my ass off.
