Now that is nice, could see me living somewhere like that.....Property is certainly much cheaper here, and you get so much more for your money.....If I did not have my animals would have been tempted to move over....

All that space! I wonder that Americans can breathe when they come over here and find out how poky and small property is - unless you move up to the grand mansion style.

Good grief, Azz., where in the boondocks was that taken??? $180,000.00 might buy a garage here!! Houses (row houses with minimal land) in my middle class neighborhood are going in the $695.000 to almost a million range!

It's $300,000 Dm

It's Florida (Charlotte County, Rotonda) - good or bad area?

And er, what's boondocks?

Ooops, misread the pound sign as a dollar sign...you see what you're expecting to see, I guess. That's still very low; but Florida is one of the States with the highest foreclosure resales. I don't know the area at all.

Yup - Florida sounds like the boondocks to me - not even for a holiday; sorry! And a bungalow in redneck suburbia - my idea of a nightmare!!! I belonged to a forum for a bit about cats which was run by a Floridian female body builder . . . that was scary, more for it's politics than it's protein supplements

Where's Edward Scissorhands is what I want to know!

Now Washington - I could live somewhere like that . . .
