Shelley, since you have no objection, I'll continue the hijack
Michele, that's too bad about your neighborhood. It's so depressing when that happens. I've seen things really deteriorate here. It's always been transitional and for renters (which is why DH bought investment property here) but in the last three years it seems as if all the respectable people have left. We're actually talking about selling this property when we move. Frankly, federal and state fair housing laws make it almost impossible for us to control to whom we rent, so I have a feeling it's going to become a major pain in the patoot to manage rental properties when we live some distance away.
