Thanks BobS. I know I would like Santaluz. I have a co-worker up here who lived there a few years and loved it and I have been sold on it for a while now.

I just need to help my wife see the light and so need more amunition.

Of course, any negative information/experiences is also solicitied as long as it is reliable. Every community has its pros and cons, that is for sure. My own biggest concern is appreciation risk. With so many developers still putting up new homes in SL and with so many distressed owners, it just won’t appreciate like Fairbanks Ranch would, with many owners there many years and drowing in equity so fewer distressed owners and lots of fixer uppers with few new builds ripe for improvement and appreciation after the market recovers. That is why I am more agressive on price in SL than RSF, to account for that, among other things.

Nonetheless, I love the theme, homes, and entire community quite a bit and it is likely that even if we buy in Fairbanks Ranch, we will join the SL clubs.

As for renting. Very possible we would rent in SL, but not RSF.

I agree with stocktrader. I am a card carrying republican, albeit a just right of center one with a libertarian rights theorist and consequentialist bent. I hope McCain has a better chance against Obama though, but do wish Hilary would win the dem nomination to be safe.

This is not about race or gender. I would have voted for Collin Powell and would vote for Condolezza Rice, who I have had the good fortune to meet. It is about partisan viewpoints as should always be the case. Elections should be color and gender blind and always about the issues. Voting for a white guy does not suddently mean race and gender were the reason.

If Obama wins he wins. I have survived democratic administrations before and at least one dream of the great Martin Luther King will have been realized, but no, if I were a democrat, I would not vote for or against him because of his race, I would vote for him because he has a better chance of beating McCain and because he is . . . well, a democrat.
