What the fudge... house prices up almost 40%

Hate this crap.

First things first. Every time I click to try to work, I end up clicking "Residence". I don't see it as a hub for all my "two click" activity. Why's't gotta be right there on top like some cold sore. I hate change.

Two, housing prices are up almost forty-friggin'-percent (40😵. Eh, I'll sell a couple of the ones I bought back in the day, but it's going to be a strain on new users.

Case: $1,215 for a seven-day house, nets what... $220/day, $1,540/wk, net profit like $325, throw 20% on top, that $360. Cool. Last week, it was like maybe $920, I was making $202/day, $1,414/wk, net profit $500.

Third, as a two-click-gangsta, the health bonus is a useless as Carmex on a cold sore. I have shiny lips for longer than it takes me to log in, train, WaM and covert my overpaid employees (I had to give 10% raises or they were going to walk) work to under-priced Q5 food, the price of which has fallen about 20% over the past three or four months.

If I wasn't buck-naked waiting for my overpriced Q1 shower to heat up, I'd do the math to confirm Q5 with the wage increase is no longer profitable.

Let's say we keep the $1,215 (instead of the current $1,125).
The average max salary is $240. If you're working for a US citizen, the work tax is 1% (but if you're working for a Turkish, it'll be 20%, so pay attention to country work tax). That's $2.4 per pay. That means $1663.2 per week.
When you have a Q1 house, you'll have 14 shifts per week. That's $3,326.4. That means that your Q1 house let you have $448.2 more than with no house.

Before the new feature, a Q1 house cost around $920, and average top salary was $208. $1,441.44 per week (1 shift per day) or $2,882.88 (2 shifts per day). That meant $521.44 net worth at the end of the week. The difference isn't that bad for now. Also don't forget the market is unstable atm.

Also, there are still people, MU or political parties who can help you afford the buying of a first house. That's what I do in Bear Cavalry at least.

As for Q5 food, that kind of company was barely sustainable over the time. Q1 to Q3 (max) would be the best in terms of profits.
