      A furnace alone is $4-7k, that’s 1/3 to 1/2 the budget.

      Good luck living in Saskatchewan without a decent furnace and some insulation.

      What kind of dwelling do you currently live in? Need to know the square footage, heating type, have AC?, etc.

      That sounds like an outlandish claim. Have you got certified designs and budget documents that show us how to do that? Wait, better hang onto that stuff as a trade secret so you can be the next billionaire and hero to those who struggle to afford shelter.

      I would like to see anyone say that they live comfortably without a kitchen, especially if they aren’t in a financial position or location to easily use/afford restaurants/Uber eats/etc.

        I lived in a boarding house for a while, so no personal kitchen. It was okay, and good neighbors was critical to that.

        In a sense it’s just roommates you don’t choose.

      Capitalism has created this reality that a house needs hundreds of dollars

      Hundreds? 🧑‍🍳 🤌💋
