I was kiddin with my pic- I think thats one of the (R.I.P.) new orleans shot gun houses....which, by the way, had not Katrina hit, I might have VERY well on a whim went to go and be and that would be that! how I love that town!!

I like the neighborhood my apartment is in....my rent is several hundred dollars less than what it would cost to rent a house here, plus there is that no maintenance worries thing too....there was a house across the street for sale- I walked over there and got a flyer, thinking well this has got to be $150,000 house. No, $225,000 HOLY CRAP!!!! nah, its cool! CYA!! I get the neighborhood, no liability, no responsibility, maintenance free.....although the equity thing keeps on calling to me....but they keep saying housing is slowing down...
