I had to make sure my eyes are looking at the supposed interior, uh, "refresh" isn't something made with ChatGPT.

I bet the owner of this house also has a, ugh, Tesla in the garage.

I'd rather choose the more iconic tacky but more identifiably human and warm interior design over that horribly sterile aesthetic.

Dunno, but if I remember correctly, in the 19th and early 20th centuries child mortality was very high in some places, especially where there is little access to medical services, and certain vaccines have yet to be developed. That's why some impoverished families became large because survival was on top of the list, and nearly all the children had to find work early on.

Combined with the higher expectations of parenting, and it’s no wonder many people are opting out.

It's now Darwinian in the sense that only those who can afford quality have the likelihood of better upward mobility, like some of them insisting to have private education over public. Of course and sadly, the so-called middle class is being hollowed out as the wealth gap widens.

Makes me think how for decades a lot of nice things were destroyed for scrap materials or for entertainment -- like this Pontiac GTO -- and now many are scrambling to find and pay hugely for antiques.
