I'm still convinced this is on the model of the normal house hunting shows, i.e. they've already bought the house (or its under contract) so all the conflict and drama and crap is utterly fake so all the "whine whine trail whine" and "my weeeeeeedddding" and such is manufactured for draaaaaama. I wish they'd give up the pretense and focus on real estate pr0n instead. I mean, how many people see 3 homes, each with a nice name, pick one of them, and are moved in without negotiation or lost sales?
That said, who the hell wants to live in someone else's backyard? What's the deal with this $250k home with shared property? My jaw dropped at the price of the studio apartment home as well as the arrangement. Yes to murphy bed. In fact, more murphy beds for all the teeny homes. When you're up, you're up. Couples in particular need more separation and workspace and whatever wife (she was acting but still) says "Oh, you'll get used to h aving no life or privacy", perhaps you'll want to run away from that person.
