ParticipantIf the HOA allows it I would put up a gate hooked up to an automated clicker – it would provide a nice barrier for your kids to play in your driveway and give some privacy.. just a thought.
But yes in some regards, a waste of space.

Participant[quote=asianautica][quote=EconProf]Texas is flat, no ocean, mountains, or TJ next door to inhibit building. Plus a low-tax, developer-friendly government. Throwing up houses is easy and cheap, dependent on labor costs and materials, which didn’t much go up.
With no bubble to pop, their house prices aren’t falling much, and are even rising in some areas. Having oil, natural gas, and ag. also helps. [/quote]
I don’t think flat, no ocean, mountains, or TJ will contribute to TX price vs SD price. Just look at areas like Fresno, Bakersfield, etc. They all are flat, no ocean, mountains, or TJ, yet price went through the roof. I think the biggest factor is the high property tax and developer-friendly government that’s the culprit. People wouldn’t want a higher price house because they know that next year, their property tax will be that much higher. Also, like you said, the developer-friendly government does make it a lot cheaper for builders to build. I don’t buy the argument of SD running out of land either. We have plenty of land to east that are undeveloped. We’re almost as big in term of land as LA, yet we haven’t even touch the eastern area of the county like LA has.[/quote]Unless the Santa Ana’s stop or all brush is cleared from the entire county, I dont think many people will want to move east after the last two major fire storms we have had. But the water situation is another saga.

Participant[quote=goldfish]The funny thing is that Bridewalk is still priced at mid-high 500s now. This particular REO home has been listed for short sale for a long long time. Is there anything wrong with this home? [/quote]
I drove by it this morning and its at the end of claire ct and there is like an extended driveway at the left side of it, which is like a small cul de sac of sorts but thats all I can tell from the outside.
