I've never been too much into the series, but somehow I've gotten the impression that, in earlier installment(s), you weren't allowed to say no to the home expansions. As soon as you paid off one mortgage, you were immediately saddled with another. Because who wouldn't want a larger, nicer house? Why would you ever be content with what you have?

And so (if this fuzzy third-hand recollection is accurate), the game gained a rep as a perfect microcosm of the Sisyphean burden of home ownership, conspicuous consumption, and/or inescapable, ever-increasing debt.
