In DC area, a two million dollar house isn’t necessarily a mansion. It might be a nice house, but it probably wouldn’t qualify as something to be envious about.
But that’s not the issue we should be concerned about.
The issue is his bringing it up to make it look like he feels for the regular Joes. I have no sympathy for easy credit and easy mortgages that people get in over their head with and are not prepared for the worst.
