I will respond to many points when I return from my house hunting trip in SD as I am on my way to the Airport. You folks make good points.
Take my “poorest in neighborhood” comment with a grain of salt. It is based on a philisophy I have that I always want to be around folks to push me to improve (whether that be intelligence, wealth, or what have you). I agree about being surrounded by folks without work ethic, for example, is not a good thing. But that is not what I meant.
Another of my mottos to live by.
It is better to be thought an idiot among geniuses, than a genius among idiots.
I will report back on my house hunting trip and the points made on my return.
