For example, one might need an amenity from their place of origin to maintain any semblance of a life here. Then such a place, hollow and fake though it is, becomes necessary.
If home were all that precious, the memory ought to remind all right. It's what they're for. But to pay a dear price all for a soulless replica? It's vulgar at the very least. A little insulting, too, as though a counterfeit were just as valuable and worthy as the original. The original might rankle at the unjust comparison.
