Your comment: "in the 80's "traditional" was 20%" There would be no society if 20% was "Traditional" The high rates came from a failed Fed Policy and we had high inflation at the same time. :-)

I've had people tell me it's too much to manage but this sue happy society we are in makes me want to set up all the barriers I can!

It is ugly and frightening to tell the horor stories or the scams that are prevalent in society.

For that visit to your local courthouse or historical society, get the copy of the original building permit, get a new property abstract, pay a visit to your local municipal agency as well as inspect your house closely.

It is sad that I feel the need to write this disclaimer, but it is just a byproduct of what our society has become!

As American society teaches that a person's self-worth is all about the stuff they own. 

The aim of these development authorities is to provide houses to all segments of the society. 

We live in an instant gratification society.

How about joining a nearby historical society and networking?

It is sad they don't teach stuff like this in schools our society would be better.
