    A few things stand out to me about this

    How far removed from the original function of a house as shelter these people are. The concept of people looking for a cheap house because they don't want to freeze to death doesn't even occur to them

    And

    How boring the design of this house is. This is a virtual world where you can make it look like anything, you are not constrained by the laws of physics. Yet this is what they make? A generic whitebread rich yuppie box that you see everywhere in a rich suburb? Ugly pool. Ugly deck chairs. Rich people have no taste or imagination.

    Hope this is a bit

      Ugly pool. Ugly deck chairs. Rich people have no taste or imagination.

      Pros: Maintaining a pool in the virtual world will be WAY cheaper than maintaining a pool IRL

      Cons: Its not a real pool, you dipshits. You can't swim in it. You can't cool down in it. You can't invite a cute boy over to have sex in it. This is a painting of a pool. It is - I must repeat - not a real pool. Its not real. You are paying $290k for something you could make for free in Minecraft.

      Hope this is a bit

      Literally no idea anymore. Its all so insane.

      Listing the bedrooms and sqfootage is also kind of insane because what use are those metrics if you don't have people living in the house?

        If I had a house in the metaverse I would simply increase the scale until it had millions of square miles of floor space and couches the size of detroit.

      VR trying toe replicate real life shows an incredible lack of imagination. You could depict all kinds of incredible, impossible in real life things, but almost all vr productions are simulation real life in some way.

      See, you're problem is assuming homes are used for shelter and other basic needs as opposed to an investment opportunity or a designated storage location for your towering piles of funko pops. The neat thing about the metaverse is your towering piles of funko pops aren't constrained by stupid things like "physics."
