I have a very, very simple rule: I want to be able to read AND understand both the intent and method of a piece of code in a few minutes.
Anything less than that causes confusion and errors. And I'm getting to old and cranky to waste time looking at undecipherable code.

Trying to evolve to TypeScript constructors?
I do not see where it saves any typing in the current form. If an IDE gives you that as a default completion where you do not need to type anything, then I could see accepting it.
Less clear to my old eye as well.

I kind of like it in this case! If you're only assigning things passed in via the constructor I don't see a ton of value in spacing things out.
But I think it's a matter of using expression bodies in the right place and not overdoing it. I often see Visual Studio suggesting I switch to an expression body and when I try it, the code ends up uglier. I think they're useful when they enhance readability, for example in indexers or property getters and setters:
public string this[int i]
{
get => types[i];
set => types[i] = value;
}
or
public string Name
{
get => locationName;
set => locationName = value;
}

I'm hoping it not a long term trend, or the debugging tools have to get better.
I can put a break on a function and inspect the variables as I step through the code, it gets a little trickier on expression bodies especially when working with large collections or arrays 
I like the cleanliness of expression bodies, but at the same time sub expressions do tend to muddy up the readability.
Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but once the code is compiled a expression body just gets translated into a function (like) code structure which is just a jump to address and then return as seen by the processer. I'll admit I've not looked into what happens too much under the hood with expression bodies in dotnet.

I only got it after the solution was published as well.

That bit I got, it was the I that was confusing me. Are we using it as a "1"?

Nope, "a" item == "one" item == "I" item.

I've now invested $2500 into my PC and it's about to be a MONSTER.
It's a year old.
By Thursday here are the specs (actually by later today except for the keyboard)
Ryzen 7 8 core
32GB of RAM
RTX 2080ti video
55" 4k screen/smart TV
7TB of storage, 2TB of which is NVMe
Mechanical "smart" keyboard
1000 watt power supply
I am so happy with it. Thank you CUKUSA.com too for making great barebones systems at really good prices.
This is the first time in as long as I can remember that I am not wanting to upgrade something. It's all more than I need right now.

I just don't see the point in going into debt over a rolling liability when the typical American keeps their car for for an average of 5 years

That's weird; I'm next to the window and suddenly realize that a lot of the cars coming by are "not completely paid". I always imagined looking at wealth, but most often it is debt?
Also, 7 TB. I'm afraid to ask what you're planning to do with that. I got a lot of games and my 1TB drive isn't even halfway.
My current machine is a year or two; more a gaming-machine then dev-pc. The GPU has 2 Gb of memory for itself. Doesn't help a bit in VS, but graphics and performance for games went up, a lot.

My old card has 3GB. My new one has 11GB I think? But then I've spent $700 now on video cards since I bought the thing, some of which I'll recoup by selling by GTX 1060 on E-bay. I can probably flip it for more than I bought it for in today's market.
As far as the 7TB it was more of an accident. I replaced the 0.5TB NVMe drive that the machine shipped with a 2TB NVMe. That bumped my total storage up to 5GB, because the machine came with a 3TB HDD (even though they advertised 2TB  ). Then I have a 2TB drive from an old machine that has important stuff on it, and rather than transfer it over and pray I didn't forget anything, I just installed the whole drive into my tower. It's linux but I have a tool to pull files from it in windows.

The car payments are usually factored into the monthly bills forever. Some people prefer to lease and then just turn it in. I like paid for cars. My Sequoia is such a solid vehicle, I'd have no problem spending 2-3K in rebuilding the transmission should it EVER go. I priced new Sequoias - 80k and up. Not even reasonable.

I never had a car; not allowed to drive 
First thing I found after quick search was trees, of course. Looks like a nice one. I'd imagine you'd be rather safe in there if a European car hits you

I only have two games (Classic Windows Solitaire and Mahjong Titans), and yet my 1TB has 700GB used.
Of course I have to admit that 165GB of that is pictures, and 100GB music  .
