ParticipantWere you trying to bargain with the sales people to get a getter deal? I heard that they were willing to discount the selling price after the sales slowed down and the number foreclosures started to go up in Stonebridge. The same happend at “Scripps Preserve” where prices went down significantly last year.

Participant[quote=CA renter]I also have to address the notion that you can avoid health problems by “eating right and getting exercise.”
We’ve known a surprisingly large number of young people (under 50 years old) who’ve been diagnosed with cancer — just estimating, maybe ~20 people or so. The first overweight person is this group was a cousin of mine who died from colon cancer this year. Every single other person was young, fit, and very health-conscious, even to the extreme of only eating organic foods and running/riding bikes 15+ miles per day. Many of these people had the same arrogant attitude toward overweight people and sickness that I see here. I’m not saying it’s healthy to be overweight, and it’s certainly not healthy to be obese, but too many people seem to miss the fact that genetics are a much bigger risk factor than simply being overweight (and obesity is most certainly genetic, in many cases, BTW). Don’t forget accidents and illnesses that are caused by other risky behaviours like drinking, smoking, or having unprotected sex. Add to that the expensive surgeries required by athletes who are injured while participating in sports (we know a number of these, too!). Don’t forget those who get in car or motorcycle accidents, or who fall off a ladder when doing home repairs, etc.
Anecdotally, another good friend who has always exercised religiously and “taken good care of herself” had a stroke earlier this year. She was in her 30s. Another very fit friend in his 40s just recently had a heart attack…while exercising.
Trying hanging around a chemo room someday. You’ll see very few “obese” people. Sadly, you’ll see a surprising number of very young, very fit people in there.
People who think they control their own fate WRT their health are very naive. If you remain uninsured simply because you are young or fit, you’re asking for serious problems, IMHO.[/quote]
You’re citing anecdotal cases. Looking at the “big” picture it is clearly evident that being obese poses a significantly higher risk compared to people who are normal weight and live healthy.

ParticipantDid this house really sell for over $900k in ’05?
At least MR is less than $400/yr and lower than most other houses in “Stonebridge”!ParticipantDid this house really sell for over $900k in ’05?
