I plan to live here at least 5 years, so want something that fits my tastes.

People that go for this are much more likely to be long, long, term tenants, and it shows they take a certain amount of pride in their home (no accounting for taste, of course) which is exactly what you want in a tenant.

What will put a bad taste in a seller's mouth when the buyer has 1000 weasel clauses?

. - good points Richard - it comes down to a blend of personal philosophy and tastes.

It's exactly my taste, I love modern architectural designs.

What you should do in terms of expensive is really a matter of personal tastes and what the market requires...sometimes one over-rides the other.

It comes down to a matter of taste in my observation.

I love the Bay Area, cool people and I am fiending for some "Taste of the Himalayas" food at that little place in Sonoma. 

The whole ordeal has left a bad taste, but I guess its my own fault for not being better educated about the best way to handle these kinds of dealings.

I have eaten Cold Stone and it's a great tasting product but very expensive and a lot of times I just want a plain dipped cone from Dairy Queen and not all of that other stuff.
