It's similar to how the media operates in sports.

There are running trails and gyms everywhere, there are lakes all over for water sports so it's nicer than where we are from. 

But to get those swings, more than likely, you need some working capital, and to get that working capital, you have to figure out what you can do in your own life to make it a reality and it’s probably going to take a sacrifice – for me it was selling a beloved sports car and coming to the realization that despite the joy that the car had provided, it was not fulfilling my long term needs and goals.

Even so, this lady wasn't always 80. 25 years ago she was 55, and 25 years ago was 1997 and everyone and their brother and cousin that didn't already own one was buying a personal computer and signing up for AOL or Prodigy or Compuserve and getting on the World Wide Web. 20 years ago she was 60 and we'd already had a DotCom bust, everyone was sporting laptops and we were getting perilously close to Smartphones.

To use some sports parlance to perhaps illustrate the point, if it were a boxing match, the scorecard would read:  10 - 4 in favor of Irvington (i.e. not even close).If you look at some of the listings from the online sources for the Highlands neighborhood you reference, you would/could consistently find single-family homes which have sold below $20,000.

But, while Joplin was a school rival for sports (and we won most of the games, BTW) I like Joplin and things are really changing after the tornado.
