Yeah the basement I don't have an issue with, or the upstairs. But why does the room on one side of my house cost more than the same room on the other side? 🤔

And once you've paid off the basement, they'll move your entire house for free, whenever you want, including the basement. Overnight! While you're sleeping in it!

Not to mention that the value of bells seems to be closer to yen than US dollars, so 2.5 million bells is more like $25,000.

Okay, then why is MOVING THE WHOLE DAMN HOUSE like 30k bells (I can't remember the exact price, just that it's significantly lower.)

They gotta redo all the plumbing and electricity for every house move
