It’s literally a two-story, five-bedroom house that is not a mansion—it’s a regular-ass house. A mansion typically has at least 5 to 10+ bedrooms and a comparable number of bathrooms, usually spanning over 8,000 square feet.

    It’s a luxury home, 5 bedrooms sure but it’s also a huge property in an area where property value is insane.

    It also has a pool, hot tub, and tennis court with some yard left over. It’s not a boilerplate, built from catalog “McMansion” that are common in the US, but it’s bigger than most of those homes tend to be.

    Why does an imaginary house in an imaginary place cause so much internal angst that you have to ask a silly question?

    Not really an answer, but the definition of a ‘regular-ass house’ is very different in the UK/EU compared to the US. American suburban homes are huge.

      Yes. This is either a bot farming account history, or someone reposting for internet attention/points.

      Edit: based on their post history, I’m not sure what to think now.

      Yes, in different channel; the OP just should start using “cross-post” button.

      I wish there was an aggregator of comments from all cross-posted instances of a post. Can’t wait till Lemmy 1.0 with plugins thing.

        I wish there was a way to aggregate communities across all instances, where the community name is identical, rather than having to go out and seek each and every community on a per-instance basis.

          well at least the search feature gives you a list of these communities; fortunately, it’s usually short (unless you search for “memes”) and you could realistically just join all (like I do)

    You’re on Lemmy, we’re all filthy socialists who have no money. You need to at least try and hide the fact that you’re rich and can’t relate to people who don’t have money for even two bedrooms and for whom anything more is pure luxury and who avoid buying ANY bottled water. (One might think you’d know this by now but one would think a lot of things and you’ve consistently refuted any such assumptions.)

    Why didn’t you include the second sentence in the bit you ripped from wiki?

    Some realtors in the US term mansions as houses that have a minimum of 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) of floor space.[10] Others claim a viable minimum could instead be 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) of floor space, especially in a city environment.[11]

    Because most people are poor, poorly educated and have no concept of scale.

    For 90% of humans on earth, it is so far above experience, it is practically a mansion. For another 5% the “prestige” is sufficient to bridge the credibility gap. The remainder don’t play GTA V or talk shit on Lemmy.

      It would have been at the high end of that cost. It’s a gated yard with a pool/hot tub and a tennis court in the back yard in Beverly Hills.

      On a side note there was originally supposed to be a hidden basement(?) room underneath the tennis court that you can gain access to on PC and some glitches on console. It has like a server room, jukebox, bar, and a set up for monitoring/setting up heists. My guess is they ended up deciding against adding it to the final game and left it as an Easter egg or w.e
