You are a moron. Don’t you know that 99% of scaredy’s posts are mocking us? He’s toying with us and you are one of the people foolish enough to bite on his bait over and over again.[/quote]
This one cracked me up, I thought I was the only one who “got it” when it comes to walter’s occasional joke posts (but I put it at 50% intentional irony). I would never “out” him or anything he has told me, but he’s mentioned more than once in posts where he bought and for those of us who live here we know that his area is in the school boundary for the highest API score for 30 miles in any direction.
BG, I will keep this cordial but I take exception to the lizard land comment and your personal preferences regarding housing. You think these people are wrong, but you failing to appreciate other peoples preferences. I personally hate any house more that 15 years old, they are inefficient and I hate large lots and I really hate overhead utilities. I’d lived in a variety of housing styles and in a variety of locations, including 5 towns in S.D.
I enjoyed a condo in lizard land more than the 70 year place in S.D. I lived in, complete with it’s power poles, wires strung everywhere and mostly, the wacky things the neighbors do to their property. You can disagree, I cannot even defend my position, but it is my preference and I’m cool with that. I love HOA’s and Mello Roos, because they come with rules about the person next door painting their house yellow and there is center median landscaping, new schools and predominantly english speakers in those schools. I want all the houses in one place and the stores in another, I want the poor people and the apartments far away and I don’t want mass transit to come within a days walk of where I lay my head and I don;t want to live within thirty miles of Mexico. The kind of houses and neighborhoods you like are the opposite of what I like, neither of us are wrong, it’s just a preference and for different reasons. So don’t get mad that most young buyers don’t appreciate the things that you do, they are allowed to have their preferences. I purposely bought in the neighborhood with the highest HOA I could find, it keeps out the rif raf and that makes me happy, right or wrong. I do the same thing with a lot of stuff, for example, women. I like a certain kind of woman, not everybody agrees with me, I don’t care what everyone else likes, it’s not about them, it’s about me, life got easier once I figured that out.
