For me the $200,000 difference= save 10 minutes on driving, zip code pride, and a “better high school”

The last two don’t apply to me. Everything else is a wash.

Are there are moments when I would like to save the 10 minutes of driving? Yes! But not enough to have a mortgage that size.

We decided that traveling and saving are more important to us. We are heading to Costa Rica and Brazil this summer instead of looking at overpriced houses. It will take us 10 more minutes to the airport but we can afford to do things like that when we have affordable housing.

I hope people will view LCO and LCG as superior so we have fewer competitors when we make offers.

When I went through the LCO model homes they told me it was San Marcos school district? Is that correct?
