perspective

I found a link to this reading friendsfriends. 46 acre farm with pond and views of Mt. Shasta. $392,000. I don't like the house itself at all, but...

46 acres. $392,000.

My next door neighbor's 2200-ish sf *townhouse* listed at $499,000, and the one three doors down sold for over half a million.

Yeah, I know: lower salaries, lower cost of living, lack of job market, all that. But still...
Sheesh.

Would be a good place to go retire and raise my goats, ya think? (I'd have plenty of room to get them a trampoline.)

BIEBER! Damn! That's remote, but just gorgeous. But very remote. But gorgeous. That's on the way up to Alturas, where I was conceived and where Mom's dad was the town doctor in the thirties.
