Here's what I posted on this over on our most recent DUFU, i.e., the DU post by Undie, followed by my take on it:

Andy has a house appraised at over $400,000!!!

54. We bought our house 5 years ago for.... @155k today it appraises at...over 400k...Crazy!

Yet, somehow, Undie--together with his "spouse," termite--can't afford $50,000 for life-saving pancreatic cancer surgery. He/they can't even afford the health insurance that would have covered the surgery. Crazy!
