I used a very sterile, transactional description of it but there’s no denying that this is the case. Of course it’s not the only benefit, and it’s not what motivates the purchase in the first place.
It is unfortunately true. You cannot invite your social peers and pay for their lodging. It is only socially acceptable if you literally spend 3x as much for a rarely used guest room.
Not true. It's sad that you all quantify and gamify relationships.
Some people are just better about lying to themselves about it - the poor part of town literally depends on it.
