In today’s society there’s a growing sense of entitlement believing that the government should take care of everyone.

We were going for a more modern design =)James Vermillion I love that place...

What's lacking, however, is higher-end, modernized rentals.

They might even get around the political quagmire of increasing taxes by warning about a "neighbor vs neighbor" society.

This is a lower middle class but mostly tidy neighborhood, late 80's construction.I'm aiming for modern but inexpensive finishings as we are on a fairly tight budget (most of it is going to AC/roof etc).

Have modern circuit breakers with knob and tube.Of course we had that poster that had a child scorched when children were playing in tub with a water tank set at a too high temperature.

If you have a college degree from a state school and, for example, pass the 10 exams of the Casualty Actuarial Society (I know, I make it sound simple, lol) you're light years ahead of someone with the same degree from Ivy league.

I agree that in some instances stucco does make homes look more modern.

I just had all the light switches and electrical outlets in my personal residence changed and modernized.

It's about the reality of our population, the needs of society and the broader scope of all people living together in a free country.
