No I’m not kidding. I’m also not suffering from derrangment syndrom. I think they look horrible in a yard and after growing up in a faimly that was always into real estate I know how much they lower property values and how much harder they make a house to be sold.
First of all ... this is the White House we're discussing, and I doubt that it is going to be listed and shown to prospective buyers anytime soon (unless maybe the Chinese are in the market). Perhaps you could post a photo of an acceptable play structure for the children, or is it your opinion that they should have no play structure because they live in the White House?
Secondly ... I don't know where you live or what kind of folks reside there, but a Rainbow play set does not lower surrounding property values. Then, you must understand that I live in an area that values the children of the community and we have nothing against them playing and having a nice playset upon which to climb and swing. Apparently, that is a dying concept in other parts of America.
