That's where this is going. If someone picks trailer park over an n-hood, that will be the next step. Theres a couple nice trailer parks out there, just like there are bad ones. The same with neighborhoods. I would pick certain trailer parks over neighborhoods and would want a neighborhood over certain trailer parks.

The biggest truck i could get from Budget was 25'.

It took me four trips to move all the stuff from our 1600 sqft, 2-car garage home to our new place. :willy:

I'll say this- we've got more than enough crap to fill our 2000 sq ft, 4 br/2.5 ba home, but we also have rooms that I don't go in for weeks at a time- we've got a dedicated guest bedroom, and my wife has a home office. The cats have their own bathroom. I use the kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom, and living room. 2000 is not a small amount of space if the house has a good layout.

Sure, i'd take 3500 if i could get it and move some more of my projects in out of the garage, but there's no way in hell i'd give up my location for it. That's why i personally said to go for B. There's no substitute for location.

about the same price but with A you have HOA to pay which raises the cost per month. does sound like a money issue, would be with me anyway.

Tina and I was just talking about HOA's, did you check to see if motorcycles were allowed in that gated community? you may not be able to ride that fiddy in the yard. better read the HOA agreement first.

NO YOUR WRONG!!! you can't want more, you have to want less............:lol

N-hoods (neighborhoods?) don't have to be some subdivision 20 miles from the city core. There are tons of older, more established neighborhoods closer to the city. Granted, the homes will be smaller, but IMO they have more character, and it's pretty much assured that they'll hold their value more (on a % basis) than the new developments 20 miles out.

It depends on your needs and wants. You want more, we want less. My wife wants more, I want less. It's opinion, neither of us are wrong. If you can afford more, good for you. There is a lot of people who wanted more and royally fucked up this country's housing market. So I say to them, they can go fuck themselves.

I have to agree with trip. If I won a shit ton of money, I'd buy a bunch of land and build about a 1500 sq. ft. house with probably the same size garage. Then I'd put a track on my land and have a shit ton of fun with all my two wheel friends. :D

now that would be cool as hell to have.

That was actually my plan too. I just didn't add the track part. It would be like 3-4 tracks in one. One big pavement, one that was attached to the big pavement, but went into the infield that was much tighter and shorter for fiddy motards. A portion of the big asphalt would jut off for some dirt section for a supermoto addition. And then have a full on dirt.

in houston, inner city means you also get inner city schools (which suck) so then add the cost of private school to your "cheap" house.

in houston, you buy a cheap house and your in n-hoods w/ alot of undesirables. you then you spend alot of $ to get a small house "in-town" thats nice then your still in the chity school, so then add exp house + private school......startin to add up.
