Mr. Andie74 is reading over my shoulder. He says, "It's bad enough that they take away their homes to build an office building and a hotel, but private homes? That's appalling."

A black day.

"It's bad enough that they take away their homes to build an office building and a hotel, but private homes? That's appalling."

This is something that bears pointing out. It's only a matter of time before communities across this country start condeming all those "small" 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000-square foot homes (you know, the kind that just about everybody lives in) to make way for lavish 3,000+ -square-foot mansions that sell for double the price and bring in double the taxes...and of course the evicted people will have to move somewhere else because they can't afford to live there anymore.

It will happen. Just watch.
