    “ProPTeRy VaLUes!”

    No one sees any value in just living in their homes. They have to be statements on your personal wealth, and though that, statements on your character as a human being. Living under the thumb of narcissists is a small price to pay so your neighbor doesn’t look poor.

      It’s not a home, not even usually a statement of wealth. The “statement” properties are invisible behind large gates and long driveways.

      In most cases, they’re investments, rather than homes. A way to gain wealth, not brag about it.

        They are definitely statements of wealth. Just because it’s investment doesn’t mean it’s also a statement of wealth. Try growing vegetables in your front lawn or hanging cloths to dry. These are things poor people do.
