If you want to go somewhere or "hang out" with friends, you had three choices...public transportation, walk, or (by far the most popular) ride a bike.Some places in South America also have extremely high gas prices.

I know of many types of farms (not organic) in the area (NW IN) that offer maze rides, pick-yourself-vegetables, they sell small decorations, big inflated jumping things for kids (can't remember what they are called, LOL).

I think lending is loose -- what about all those "second homes" that are just accross the county line and "ride by appraisals" are the norm.

Then, they ride the neighborhood every week, call/quiz realtors, go to open houses, until they find a good buy.

Also, if you see a house you can call the banker and they'll approve it verbally or ride by and say "yes" or "no" quickly and you can make a cash offer and save money on the buy.
