If he’s been trying to sell for ten years and can’t drop the price, he idiotically bought at the top of the bubble in 2007, paying a bubble price and somehow feels entitled to get what he paid out of the property.
But, it’s Paul’s fault for not razing trees that would make his house a more valuable lake view property, not his own fault for foolishly paying top dollar at the top of a bubble. Economics are never the strongsuit of leftists.
If he’s a socialist, then he shouldn’t be selling his house. He should just turn it over to someone who needs it.
You are probably right. Unlike many, he has the income to pay his ridiculous mortgage . . . yet resents that he is waaaay underwater ten years later.
