I guess i did not know this. I thought maybe a bit behind our market, but had no idea that house would be less than half the price that it would be here. I don't actually know for a fact that the size of the lot, but i have pictures of the yard and it's huge. He got like 3 times more house and yard than I for 85k less and I'm still almost 25 miles outside of the city. REdiculous.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

How is this possible? I thought Dallas was a big city? I'm so depressed. HOw did the DC housing market get so out of control and it's still no where near NYC. RT, you must live in a mansion. When are we having the FB house party at RT's?

Weidly enough, I was talking with e/o about having a house party at my place last night.
While home prices are significantly cheaper here, I'm certain that I'd ask MR to throw me to the cats before I'd move any place that claims to be in a Texas city on a quarter acre. In Texas we incorporate our suburbs into the cities (for the tax revenue), which makes Houston the geographical size of the state of Rhode Island. It has the unfortunate side effect of having people who live in places like Cyprus-Fairbanks and Friendswood legitimately say that they're from Houston, thereby confusing out-of-staters into thinking that these people live in a big city, instead of a sprawling suburb. An even more unfortnate side effect is that these people really do think they live in the big city.

I'm sure he's in a suburb area...but still close enough to ride his bike to work everyday, which of course is a relative calculation. But since he spent the first 32 years of his life in TX, I think he qualifies as a true Texan or whatever.

I would assume housing in Dallas and Houston is similar. If you're willing to endure a commute and living in an area with the soul of a Chili's appetizer sampler, you can buy quite the house with all the bells and whistles (but no trees) for not very much money. Comparable houses in the inner loop (read: don't need to get on a 8-lane superhighway parking lot to get to work) are prohibitively expensive.

Here in the ATX, things are a little different. I live virtually downtown, while actually living in another town altogether. Of course, they created my own little corner of heaven to keep the darkies out of their schools.
During a mayoral election, they brought our firm's candidate around to glad-hand all the lawyers. The future mayor was dismayed to learn that 90% of us lived across the river and could not vote for him. Smartly, his handler started introducing him to staff.

Don't be absurd. The only thing I eat alive is pussy.
Well, maybe goldfish, but I was really drunk, it was in college, and I had an ounce of really good sinsemilla riding on it.

Okay, you've told me that your family had some unorthodox methods of practicing medicine, but I just assumed you were referring to that time your Dad tried to raise Grandma from the dead.

Hello, Calgary.
This site is enough to make anyone a hockey fan, but you probably don't want to look at it at work.
