I don't mind unrealistic housing as long as it's not directly referenced. Nothing worse than a character inviting someone into their home saying something like "sorry it's so cramped" and then the shot reveals a living room large enough to fit my entire apartment.
It's all that tip money.
I find most video games and other media far more unrealistic in that nobody ever needs to go to the bathroom.
Or grandma, the widowed, retired elementary school teacher, whose deceased husband owned a neighborhood flower shop.
That grandma probably bought the house in 1975 for $50,000.
My house was £52k in 1997. Increased 350% when I bought it in 2023 and we got quite a lot taken off as it needs quite a bit of work. Heating didn't work properly, didn't have cooking facilities, a lot of the plaster isn't actually attached to the walls very well - that one I only fixed the worst patches myself but think I did a reasonable job of it.
That's not unreasonable. Starting a small business is manageable with business loans which you can get from a bank with nothing more than a well written business plan. If the flower shop makes more than the business spends on rent, labor and supplies any normal schmoe can have a neighborhood flower shop.
80s had a different definition of being a part time mum to 20 kids
