@Joe Splitrock for the encouragement and for being so darn reasonable all the time@Mindy Jensen for expert local insight, knowledge, and mediation skills @Bill F. for getting me out of my echo-chamber and teaching me how to "win every argument"@Jim K.for somehow managing to mix things like Greek mythology and McRibs into otherwise boring real estate talk.

I don't want to spend a day and a half writing out my exit strategy, but yes, I want out of ancient Yinzerburgh crapshacks and their typical denizens. 

Greek?

Booze is almost completely gone now -- my brother is a Mormon and I'm pretty sure I drink less than he does.I still like good coffee, but instant coffee and Greek frappe (if you don't know what that is, you're better off) is out.The big wrench in the works happened two years ago when a lot of my renovation physical activity caught up to me and I got arthritis in my hip.

I see that with the "similar posts you may like" bar....some of them are ancient by most standards- so may or may not help, but there is zero reason to comment on them at that stage. 

So this would save a lot of money, if I owned the machines and helical piles, plus some side business installing for others.Then another way to save on materials is the ancient method of pole building.

Could be graffiti, gang signs, boarded up houses, loose dogs, undesirable neighbors (for example if people are out on their porches and look less than appealing or are outside screaming and fighting), lots of trash all over, a bunch of ancient vehicles, a nearby business or something that omits a bad odor, etc.
