The story reads like propaganda.
There is a good chance the home has doubled or even tripled in value since they bought it.
My own home sold for 400% higher than I bought it for after about 18 years of residence there.
My new home doubled in value in the last year since I moved in. Everyone is moving out here now.
Selling the house and moving out of the city is the obvious play. They can get twice the house for half the price of their current home, and then the wife doesn't need to work at all.
The kids will make new friends.
Fuck the city. Life is far better outside of it anyways.
Depends when they bought the house.
