Movin' to the Barrio..
Hopefully, Amy & me will be house-hunting next spring/summer. My biggest concern for a house? 2 car garage;minimum. 2 bathrooms....2-3 bedrooms....fenced-in yard for the dog..... driveway that will park at least 4 cars deep.
I don't care if we're next door to a cemetery. I already know I'm going to be "the neighbor" that the others will talk about. Therefor, I plan on buying a snow blower and a riding mower. Treat `em right, and they're hearts & minds will follow. :-D
Besides, don't knock lower-income areas with less than socially acceptable inhabitants. People are people. You should see how many wealthy, successusful assholes I deal with at my dealership....
