A house should only cost 4 cars, and a car should cost 1000 sandwiches

@donni
That's a lot of bread.

@donni Counterpoint: cities, and even towns, should be designed so that you can live happily without a car. (This would also help with house prices.)

@donni soooooo sandwiches are gonna be expensive then?

@donni So it's your fault sandwich prices suddenly shot up...

@donni depending on the house, the car, and the sandwich, that can be true.

I can probably find a somewhat local place that have fancy sandwiches at 100dkk, i can get a fairly nice used car for 100,000dkk and the house I am about to buy (renting it for now) is 350,000dkk. It is in the middle of nowhere and old, but still a house.

The location is why I need the car to get the sandwiches.

@donni Why would you want a sandwich to cost more than 63 Euro?

@donni depending on the car and the house, this might work

@donni

And a sandwich should be 50p. Maybe 75p for a really fancy one, like they used to be when I was young and had hope.

The real question is "how much should a freddo" be?

@donni Be careful of what you ask, you could eventually have it. And pay a sandwich a full weekly wage, if you can afford it, that is.

@donni

Are the sandwiches the size of 2000 ladybugs?

@donni how many bananas should a pair of socks cost?

A range rover is about $250,000 here and houses are $800,000 to $1,000000 for the most part, so we have that bit down. But $250 for a sandwich doesn’t work. OK.

So let’s live in a cardboard box under a bridge, zero dollars, and steal a car (zero dollars and comes with free sandwiches for four years).

@CrypticMirror @donni a Freddo should be 10p like nature intended.

@s_d_brath @donni minimum flat costs 20+ minimum cars, which cost 2000+ minimal sandwiches. And a minimal flat basically doesn't exist in many localities around the developed world.

@goose @donni never claimed my anecdotal example was true everywhere. Anyone living in a city here in Denmark wouldn't be able to get the same for 1000 sandwiches (even though they get ridiculously expensive in Copenhagen).

@donni Now I want a national currency pegged on sandwiches.

@donni the car to sandwich factor is roughly correct in London

iirc, in the 90s you could still very much sell great sandwiches for around $5, get a decent $5000 car, and buy a simple flat for $50,000 outright (using a USD equivalent).

And that's a pricey sandwich!

@donni Institutional investors should be able to set the price of sandwiches through the interloafing rate.

@donni Car Dealership: [scribbling furiously] Forty dollar burger stand... this is going to be huge

@donni My reality, make my own sandwiches. Car 5 years old £15k. Modest 2½ bedroom semi-detached house £350k in a small, unfashionable town in Central Beds.
