(19,600 posts)24. We bought the house in 1989
We were the young kids on the block. Lol But we were always quiet and considerate.
The old folks have passed on. The neighborhood is changing. It is aging and people have either inherited from parents or bought these lower priced homes in an aging neighborhood. Development is moving toward us. We are out of the flood zone, so the properties will hold their value, eventually will be bought up for commercial use. The area I live has been red and now getting maga. No fun living among rwnj. It'll be the same in most of the town. I'd like to move to the other side of town, closer to my daughter, but $$$ Oh well, this house is paid for, always a plus.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

I've lived in this place for 30 years and I love it, and I hate moving. Just about killed me last time.

I didn't see the grass as greener, but am moving so my sister can have my house & we'll be near each other.

I dream about having a small house all my own with an art studio on the shores of Lake Erie.

I'm swimming in the soup of humanity from all over the world; I fit in with them and deal with them daily in my job.
