Lazy Writing

So I was watching the episodes where Darlene is looking for a house and goes to an open house. I’m a real estate agent in Illinois and when the agent at the house told her she wouldn’t have a shot because she was a single woman, hi. Fair housing laws exist and you absolutely can’t discriminate on marriage status. Then when she brought Ben back and said she wanted to make an offer she was told the other offer was 20k over asking that is also not ok. You can’t disclose what’s in another offer. I know it just moves the plot line along but that grates on me. And then when it’s just so easy to decide to knock a century old home down to build her own? Demolition of that caliber is so expensive and there is red tape and bureaucracy which takes time also. Just all seems like lazy writing to me.
