Thank you Wayne, I found yours of interest as well. I like to hear about how life is in other areas, this is the reason I started writing columns for a newspaper in Cincinnati and another one in Tahachapi, I got to read their paper every week and know things about their everyday lives. I was interested, even though I never set foot in either town. That's also why I started this blog, hoping to get this kind of feedback. Incidentally, I got the job of writing for the Tahachapi paper though our forum. Mikey got an email asking if he knew of anyone that would write about trains and he let me know. I wrote for them about two years until the economy went south in 2008 and the paper folded.
David, I agree, thanks for that insight. Flat, level land is easy to build on, but they can charge a lot more when they start building houses on hills. One problem we have with building on fertile soil is weeds. Most homes here have little grass, just crushed rock for lawns, but come the rains and we find a field of green, lots of weeds. A frequent HOA violation is "weeds in the gravel, remove before ____ or be fined".
