[quote=mainframer2]I guess you all saw the national news in the past 6 months that put Amarillo in the top 5 locations for home investment. Yes, the place is still kicking ass and oh, by the way, we had 3 houses go to auction last month in Potter County.
To all you SOCAL idiots still trying to lash out at anyone who suggests you consider living elsewhere, all I can say is “kiss my Texas ass!”. Our economy is holding nicely as we’ve watched yours crumble. Its kinda sad reading about the huge budget deficit your local government is struggling through.
“Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle are situated on the western portion of “Tornado Alley.”[35] Amarillo is also recorded as the third windiest city in the U.S, behind Blue Hill Observatory, Massachusetts and Dodge City, Kansas.”
“The racial makeup of the city was 77.50% White, 5.97% African American, 0.78% Native American, 2.05% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 11.32% from other races, and 2.34% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 21.86% of the population which had a significant increase of 63.35% compared to the 1990 U.S. Census report.”
“The median income for a household in the city was $34,940, and the median income for a family was $42,536. Males had a median income of $31,321 versus $22,562 for females. The per capita income for the city was $18,621. About 11.1% of families and 14.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 19.6% of those under age 18 and 9.3% of those age 65 or over.”
FAIL
BTW: I wonder what was the final selling price of 21 Sandhills.

Edit:
Oh my…
It’s April of 2009, and it appears 21 Sandhills is still for sale at $599k…….
