Oh Swipe, if only you could see that it's possible to recognise that things that are great for yourself in the short term aren't always great for everyone else, or even yourself, in the long term.

oh, al
if only you could see that preaching about the horrors of house prices rising and gloating about your own house price rising 2 mins later makes you an AL.

i am assuming that you won't be keeping any of the profit
as it's such a TERRIBLE THING

I won't, I'll be spending it on another house, the price of which will also have risen probably by at least a similar amount
but possibly by even more since expensive properties tend to increase in value at a greater rate than cheaper ones.

This will actually lead to me having less money if I move to a bigger place.

But, you know, don't let that change your argument.

i just find it shocking that you would think it was a terrible thing for house prices to go up
but seek to take advantage of that yourself by pocketing any increase above what you paid for it. i've never ever ever come across a hypocritical hand-wringer before, you see.

i'm genuinely shocked
i was so sure he'd say, "of course, my principles are so strong, i'll refuse to take a penny more than i paid for it, so that i have done my bit to keep house prices where they should be."
