| Attics/basements can depend on zoning laws. We can't have basements where I live because of the water table. We have a guest bedroom, it doubles as a cat bedroom/storage room. We used to have a home office, now it's just an extension of the garage. "Man caves" are for fags, no self-respecting person would have one. |
 |
| Probably a me thing but I've genuinely NEVER been to an attic in real life... Like I'm actually pretty sure my house has an attic, except it's super hard to access (bc you need a ladder and stuff) and basically nobody in my family has been up there. Also I've never been to a dedicated office room either, bc all the desk setups i've seen tend to be in bedrooms, and I honestly don't really get the idea of a home office unless you're ultra rich or smth, since you can literally just put all your office stuff in a bedroom and kill two birds with one stone... |
TheBlockernator said: For example, i've never once seen anyone where i live wiht a basement or an attic at all. That's strange. Attics and basements were common in most of the areas I've lived. My current house has them too. TheBlockernator said: I've never seen a "Guest Bedroom" There are three bedrooms upstairs here. I use the other two for storage. TheBlockernator said: I've never seen a Man Cave Lost_Viking said: "Man caves" are for fags. In the house I grew up in, my dad had a large room of his own immediately to the right after walking in the front door. We called it the den. It was one of the coolest rooms I've seen. When I was very young, I was playing around with a Mickey Mouse phone in the den. I didn't realize it was a real phone and accidentally called a random lady. I felt awkward and didn't make a sound...which freaked her out. She kept asking who it was. This was before caller ID was a thing. Our attic in that house had probably hundreds of bats. They were friendly, though. You could go up there and they wouldn't even bother you. They would fly out at night to eat insects. |
 |
| Second the guest room, the reason for its existence seems to niche/too infrequent to justify keeping the space for that use lol. Haven't seen a computer room, personal arcade, personal movie theater or a personal swimming pool if those count. |

| Basements with mulpile entrances/exits. I've never seen those, and, though, I'm probably wrong, I think they exist only in games for more interesting mapping. Also, restrooms and bathrooms with windows or windowpanes. But those are probably a thing in new skyscrapers and high-floor apartment buildings somewhere in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, maybe New York... I dunno... |

| My house growing up had a guest bedroom and a home office. My grown ass man house now has a man cave I built myself with my battlestation and guitars in it. For what it's worth, I had an upper middle class upbringing in the US. So we were well off but not rich. Guest bedroom: had nothing in it except for an old bed, an old cheap armoire from Ikea or whatever, and my mom's old sewing machine and a small table Home office: back in the day before smart phones and laptops were commonplace, families would have ye olde "family computer" a single computer that everyone in the house had to share lol. Ours lived in the home office, which was a separate room off from the main foyer right by the front door. My dad had an executive desk with some bookshelves behind it, and then the computer sat on another desk next to it. I assure you it was a lot less fancier than it sounds. Oh also we had an old school CD tower for stacking all of jewel case CD-ROMs, and in the desk's cabinet were stacks and stacks of ancient floppy disks from when those were a thing. Man cave: I call the shots now since I have been 69 years old for the last 69 years. I have a triple monitor setup on a large desk, then another desk with my backup rig, and a large TV mounted on the wall. And all my guitars are here too from that time 69 years ago when I thought StewedBeefHaunch was going to be a rock star. |

| @MissHeed It depends on the country, I guess. Here? Pretty much nobody from our generation can afford one unless it's some poorly maintained old house in some rural area. The typical "American dream" houses at a good location go for well over a million euros where I live and need you to pour constant time and money into them, so there's no way I'm ever making that "investment." Best most of us can hope for is a top floor apartment with like 3 rooms and kitchen in some decent neighborhood. Lucifrost said: That's what servants are for. You do have servants, don't you?

Your own little garage with chargers, a workshop, a garden with rose bushes and a gazebo that nobody randomly wanders through (not even nearby). Solar panels on the roof, a boiler in the basement, quiet hobby room with Andrew cross and dentist chair for a... hobby - what else a modest Christian man would need for living? And if your guests don't have that charming habit of throwing bottles around or pissing into your little angel fountain - then it's just perfect. Plus, behind your bedroom wall there isn't that delightful couple of cute guys who at night enthusiastically hammer the wall with their headboard to passion-filled moans in northern German ("Harder, Hans!"), and then later show up with apologetic faces and a pie - "hope we weren't too loud?" - a pie that was, let's be honest, definitely touched with bare hands. In short, a house is just... convenient. And the whole "but you'll be cleaning all the time" thing is pure fiction. First, the Roborock will wash the floors on its own, and much better than that girl from the cleaning service who, the moment you turn your back, wipes your dining table with the same mop (hello, new phobia). Second, some non-obvious math: the amount of dirt is almost a constant, so the bigger the space, the cleaner it feels - the dust just spreads out evenly, and per square meter there is basically nothing. Cleaning once every few weeks: migrant girls in short little aprons wave their fluffy dusters around, and you are good to live. Honestly - completely invented problems, haha. |

Your own little garage with chargers, a workshop, a garden with rose bushes and a gazebo that nobody randomly wanders through (not even nearby). Solar panels on the roof, a boiler in the basement, quiet hobby room No! First, I don't own a car. Like, I can't even drive one of those metal containers anyway. We've literally spent millions of years in a humanoid form, you can't expect me to be able to navigate spacetime all of a sudden in this giant 4-wheeled contraption, no thank you! So what do I even need the garage for? And what do you mean "workshop"? I don't need that either. A garden? That sounds like more work - no thanks. You know what happened the last time I had a "garden"? It was like 6 square meters, and even though I was trying to take care of it, my neighbor wouldn't shut up every time a single overgrown blade of grass from my side touched the fence separating us. Gazebo? I haven't used that word in 6 years. That's how little I care about this. Basement? Great, one more place I never go to. A hobby room? Yeah, given my non-internet-related hobbies, that's called a wardrobe. A good enough pool? Maybe a better temptation, but that alone will not convince me to part ways with what's probably 60 years worth of my salary plus add an extra hour to my daily commute for the sake of what you are describing as "convenience." LoveYourSmile said: And the whole "but you'll be cleaning all the time" thing is pure fiction. Um, no it's not! And there's no way I'm leaving some Roomba or even worse - a human - clean my floor.

P.S. If you buy me a very nice house, I'll totally live in it, though. |

| I have never seen an attic that you can stand up in and look like an actual room in person. I only have in my current house the kind that you likely can't really walk into it standing up and it doesn't have stairs or a drop down ladder to it. Ive never looked in it though because I am afraid there may be a lot of animals living up there and tons of dust.

It was one of the coolest rooms I've seen The room we called the "den" was technically a home office since my dad sometimes did work there on the computer. Though my dad also kept a book shelf and chair in there where he would read. This lead every home since with the computer to be called the den or the "computer room" even when they would classify as a bedroom due to having a closet and full window.

I suppose a billiard room, I always wanted one of those. 😂
My Grandma and her Husband (He was Not a Blood Relative) Lived in an Amazing, Large 1950's-ish Home from about 1985/2003. it was complete with a Finished Basement that Precisely Followed the Floor Plan of the Ground Floor. it was very nearly Two Full Houses in One!! Basement had a Large Recreational Room directly under the Top Floor Conjoined Living/Dining Room. the Rec Room had a Whet Bar (Alcoholic Beverages) and a Genuine Top Quality Pool (Billiard) Table!! The Rec Room even directly Connected to the Basement Kitchen via a set of old-timey Saloon-style Swinging Doors, and there was an adjoining Projection Closet with a Small Trap Door for a Projector Lens, Facing out into the Rec Room's Ceiling-Mounted Pull-Down Projection Screen!! God i Loved that House!!! In Fact; Grandma's Husbands' Son from his previous Marriage was Indirectly Key in turning me on to Anime to Begin with... when he Gave me this Mecha Model Kit that Became my First Step towards my MACROSS Fandom, which, in itself, led to my Expanding into Greater-Weebdom by my Mid/Latter-Teens around the Latter-1990's; https://myanimelist.net/anime/1088/Macross?q=MACROSS&cat=anime https://macross.fandom.com/wiki/VF-1_Valkyrie      |

Well, I'm not a big fan of ownership model myself, and would rather rent than buy most things (girlfriends included), but there are exclusions such as a house and a car. Because the house is your little fortress, and the car is your little house, haha. Idk how to explain: first half of your life you want to be as mobile as possible, so property is a burden. Then you settle down for 10-15 years at least, so you want own place. Your belongings quickly add up, especially if your wifey is free rebellious soul who rejects spending limits as silly bourgeois habit, so where you stored one bike there are now seven of them and all that... And you really have less time and passion to manage all that junk, plus as kids grow up, they need you less, so you end up indulging in some silly hobbies like tinkering shit and gardening, and your feng shui coach argues that storing welding machine and circular saw right behind the microwave in the kitchen leads to negative energy in your soup, so you want more utility rooms and all that... And now imagine your landlord told you to move out with a three months notice, with all that shit you piled up, plus change schools, routes, schedule etc. Nah, I'll pass on that. I mean, it's more evolutionary thing than a mindset I was born with, haha. |

| @LoveYourSmile Cooperative housing you do own your house but you dont own your house directly you own a share in the real estate block. So like if something happens to your home your neighbors help pay repairs because they are part of the ownership. If you want to move you just sell your share back and the neighbors take care of the rest so you don't have to stick around. It seems cool middle ground to me. |

I mean, if it's contractual, I don't see a big difference between usual living blocks with apartments, where you outsource maintenance and concierge chores to a management company. And if it's not... huh, idk how it works in the US, but in Germany, the chance is your neighbors will just lease their shares to some bearded guy with ten kids, move to Bali and kindly apologize every time the shit starts leaking from the pipe right above your bedroom. traed said: If you want to move you just sell your share back Easier said than done. |

You take off your shoes outside, you gently pick them up with your hands that you are going to wash afterwards anyway, make sure they are clean, and then gently place them in the shoe cabinet!

Dens are fairly common in homes that are middle class and up...as are attics and basements.
| @SmugSatoko This is not necessarily true depending on region- up north where I'm from most homes had attics and basements, but in the southeast almost none of them have either. They built a lot of ranches in the 1950s and 60s with low pitch roofs, so no attics, and basements are almost nonexistent even in new-builds. Realtors will say "crawl space" but it's just a gap between the roof structure and the frame, and you can't stand up. Underneath the houses... goodness it's not even fair to call them a crawl space. Only spiders could crawl under them. Dens are kind of a 1970s thing, probably more commonly just "family room" today but I also don't see these in most homes in the south. Of course I definitely would love to see one in an anime. |
| All of these rooms exist in the real world btw. I am not telling you how to find it. |
