    Mountain house with a hot tub. Then I don’t even need a bug out location for the upcoming civil war 👍

    Plus, I can get more animals and a bigger garden.

    The house with a pool if someone else would take care of the maintenance without me needing to worry about it. Otherwise the beach house, I would imagine it would be the easiest to rent out and use that income to get a house I would actually like.

    If we’re talking Pacific Ocean and no climate change yep that one hands down. No thanks to a pool, hot tubs can be fun but really just eh after a time. Beach is life man.

    If utilities and internet speed and stuff are a non-issue (all things are equal), mountain house.

    Otherwise, beach house.

    Honestly, I like swimming, but I’d rather have a normal ass house than have to deal with pool maintenance.

    In the real world I’d take the mountain house. In a fantasy world where rising sea levels aren’t a thing to worry about I’d take the beach house.

    I like mountains fine but the sea calms my soul like nothing else.

      the sea calms my soul

      As long as you don’t look under the surface.

      Oceans be scary. (but still great, that’s why I joined the navy once)

      In your lifetime, rising sea levels won’t be an issue. In your kids lifetime is a different story, but we still got another 50+ years before sea levels will rise to a significant degree.

        Is that true? I regularly see on the news that the climate changes faster than the scientists expected and that they have to adjust their models.

          No, it’s not true. Rising sea levels are causing an increase in storms and danger which have already started taking out beach property.

        Initially, I imagined it’s a cozy cottage in the middle of nowhere, but then I remembered that Switzerland exists. You could totally have some shops only a few tram stops away.

    Mountain house with a hot tub. Climate change and rising water levels makes a beachfront house a poor idea, and nobody sane would want to live in suburbia. You won’t have to deal with a HOA in the mountains, and who doesn’t want a hot tub with a magnificent view?

    I don’t want a pool but of those choices I’ll take the pool. Don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, and I love the beach but the beach keeps shrinking, soon enough that’s not a house on the beach. Houses with pools all over here, it’s common enough so I guess insurable.
