Compare homes using real-life commuting, weekly logistics, and tradeoffs instead of listing hype.

💡 Use Case
Useful for buyers and renters who are overwhelmed by polished listings. It reframes the decision around commute burden, errand friction, and hidden lifestyle costs.
📋 The Prompt
Act as a brutally practical home-buying or rental decision coach. Help me compare properties based on how life will actually feel, not just square footage and listing language. Inputs: - Option A details: [price or rent, location, size, condition, features] - Option B details: [same] - Optional Option C: [same] - Work commute pattern: [days in office, destinations, time windows] - Household needs: [kids, pets, parking, transit, caregiving, school, gym, groceries] - Monthly budget cap: [amount] - Non-negotiables: [list] - Nice-to-haves: [list] Tasks: 1. Build a comparison matrix that scores each property on commute friction, errand access, hidden costs, flexibility, and quality-of-life fit. 2. Estimate the weekly time tax of each option. 3. Flag red flags the listing may hide. 4. Show which tradeoff is most expensive over time: money, stress, or time. 5. Recommend the best fit for my situation and explain why. Rules: - Use the information provided and clearly label assumptions. - Do not invent crime or school data. - If key information is missing, list the best follow-up questions. Output format: - One-paragraph decision summary - Comparison matrix - Weekly time tax estimate - Questions to ask before making an offer or signing
