This is so true. I live in what's called a semi-detached (duplex?) in Oshawa Ontario. I look at the real estate in Ohio and I just laugh at what are called starter homes. There were 5 kids in my family growing up in Cincy. We lived in a 3 bedroom home with a family room addition. We are all grown now and very well adjusted and doing well. Why exactly do we all think we need to raise our kids in castles?
yeep...goetta and sushi?
You're sick...

Pork scraps stewed with oats, then pancake-fried—like a heart-happy alternative to scrapple.
Okay,yuck. Did I miss something?
Okay Jim, love the Homerama cartoon. I find it outrageous that people are being convinced its the norm to be going further out into the sticks to live in 3000, 4000, or 5000 sq. ft. palaces and drive an hour to get to work.
I'd also like to suggest an idea for a cartoon about Joe Nuxhall because that really deserves attention.
So here's my idea: Two panels, side by side. In the first panel we see a mountain-side with a tiny man climbing a series of huge boulders. One marked heart attack, another marked pneumonia, followed by lymphoma, prostate cancer, pneumonia again, with the mountain continuing off the top right corner of the panel.
The second panel would be a close-up of a thin man in an old-style Reds uniform carrying a bat over his shoulder with a mitt hanging from the end as he walks across the "pneumonia again" rock and starts his ascent of the next boulder. And on the bat it would say either "Nuxhall" or "The Old Lefthander".
I've about given up trying to find decent, affordable housing around here. I'm just gonna buy a Hummer and call it a mobile home...
