For $80/mo the neighborhood stays nice, and the parks are maintained. I know my neighbor isn’t going to paint his house pink, park cars on the lawn, line his roof with antenna dishes, or start selling clothes out of his garage.
I’ve seen the house in CV where every weekend they open a clothing store in their garage and on their driveway. I’ve seen the pink house in Del Mar. I’ve seen 5 cars fit in a 2 car driveway in Mira Mesa.
$80/mo on a 700-$800,000 home? Sign me up!
Nobody likes MR. But if you want a newish house in a top tier school district your choices are pretty limited. 99.999% of people write it off come tax time anyhow, so the couple hundred a month at the end of the day isn’t all that bad.
