No not a nerve per se, but kind of. I was trying to be a bit tongue in cheek tho.
I suppose i was just thinking you were one of those stereotypical Americans who look down on the rest of the world as if we live in hovels but in reality have never left their own state let alone their country so how would they possibly know. Tbh i was a bit surprised to encounter that here, where people are a bit less propagandised. this could just be me having one of those days where i get the wrong end of the stick all day.
So to explain..
It depends on which way you look at it, England has over 1000 years of history as a country and we are a tiny island, there is only so much space to build on. So, our buildings are old, the house I'm living in right now is over 200 years old, i have 3 ft thick stone walls, open fireplaces built into every bedroom and that's fucking epic but we do build new modern houses ofc, they're just worse... modern just means cheap and disposable materials mean to be replaced sooner rather than later but again.. only so much room to build on.
We have many ancient buildings and ancient traditions older than many nations of the world as well but i guess not everyone is into that.
Yes prices ARE high in the major cities, not so bad in the countryside. i think its not that prices are high, its that wage growth has been low for decades at the same time our currencies are being debased by our central banks but isnt that story everywhere?
I don't know what you mean by old fashioned living though, how old fashioned? we have all of the modern tech necessary to succeed in the modern world contained inside the old and antiquated buildings... and i like that very much.
