gollark: Yes, lots of people don't care.
gollark: Personally, I *don't*, it's very uncustomizable.
gollark: Well, lucky, I guess, except it's an iPhone so I don't really like it, but it has... good specs and such.
gollark: Unrelatedly, choosing a decent phone these days is hard.
gollark: Continuing on from what I said, though: I've also heard it said that house prices are high because you can borrow lots of money cheaply now because of low interest rates, and because houses are a long-term-ownership thing their demand is more affected by how much you can *borrow* more than how much you *have now*. I have no idea which of these, if any, is accurate.
