Pisses me off that my mom valued saving face more than having more space/land. Their condo cost them quite a bit over the years with their leaky condo at 60k, special levies, elevators, etc etc. All because she couldnt stomach living in an old house. That shanghainese ego of her is bullshit.

And now the perception some will have of ever buying that place given it was a leaky condo (albeit usually unfounded)
