This is blowing up on YouTube right now. Probably because of how true it is.

Here's 54 acres of undeveloped land in the town he lives in for $475K. He could parcel his 90 acres ($792k at this rate, and by far not the most expensive lot per acre I found when browsing), build a 5000 sq. foot home with a 3 car garage with 100% contractor labor, and keep 20 acres to have it on.

It's about $169 sq/ft to build in Richmond. A 5000 sq/ft home would run you $845,000, without the garage. So no, he couldn't do that.

Sorry, you're right, he could only own a 3,000 sq. ft. three car garage home on his 20 acres. Definitely much more working class.

That is more than your typical working class individual but what was the overall point you were trying to make? He currently lives in a camper, he could sell it all and have a decent home but he hasn't. Are you implying he's only posing as a working class man because of the potential wealth he has in his land? I'm just not understanding the point you are chasing after here.

Yes.
