Pretty much everyone in my life growing up and into young adulthood preached about how you needed to buy a house because it was an investment you could use as a retirement account. That I resisted this was seen as kook behavior as I kept repeating that your primary residence is not an investment - it’s a lifestyle choice and expense.

Pretty much everyone I know cares a whole lot about how much their home is worth.

Same goes for NIMBY behavior. Plenty of relatives preach about how there needs to be more cheap housing, but whenever they are directly impacted they at least talk negatively about the changes. Almost no matter what they are. From the “nuisance” of too much density, not liking renters in their neighborhood, not wanting subsidized housing near them, or not wanting rural land near them developed on since it ruins their view on walks or whatever. Basically they are for building in everyone’s backyard but their own.
