Yes? Not everyone is into luxuries.
TL;DR Luxuries cost much more for those who might not pay for them.
How is more expensive for a better experience not a luxury product?
Why do you want to deny everyone else that “luxury”?
It’s a luxury item that costs hundreds of dollars. People choose to spend money on it instead of these other things. People spend money on a lot of things that aren’t strictly necessary. So I don’t see why it is absurd.Edit: also is housing actually in a bad shape or is it just that housing in the most desirable locations isn’t universally accessible to every income group?
People don't like people who can afford more expensive things.
I would suppose that luxury in this case refers to the price point not comfort levels.
I feel like a life void of luxury is... not preferable.
People with luxury beliefs can afford luxury items, news at 5.
Aren't luxuries supposed to be expensive?
