Housecel
A housecel is a person who complains about the price of real estate where they currently live. Usually, housecels can be found in desirable cities where it is common for real estate to be expensive.
The etymology of housecel is derived from the word “incel” a shorthand for involuntarily celibate. Incels will complain that no women will date them however they refuse to lower their standards.
There is a parallel drawn in housecels where they wish to own the most expensive house type (detached single family homes) in popular neighborhoods and refuse to consider other options such as townhouses and condominiums, even if that is what they can afford. The thought of relocation, increasing their earnings, or partnering up with a spouse is often taken as an insult as well.
