Maybe not a different planet but apparently a radically different perspective that colors what you read. At the outset; I'm not considering relocating because my neighborhood is deteriorating. In fact my neighborhood is doing just fine. I don't want to move into an area that may look good now but due to things I, as a stranger, can't see stands a good chance of deteriorating.
You lecture about how you do a lot of homework before you move. But, yet you denigrate me for doing the same. Make up your mind.
What I want is real life, not media drama, information about the effect, if any, of neighborhood change due to reduced house values. I'm not interested in sociological or political diatribes.
