Pathetic
What does that mean? Colin Powell hangs with people who own more than one house in the same neighborhood?
Reminds me of a story I heard a few years ago: when Larry Ellison (owns Oracle) wanted to buy a house in a certain neighborhood in California, he went door-to-door to all the houses surrounding the house he wanted. He offered cash to every homeowner, and succeeded in purchasing every one of them over the course of a single afternoon and evening.
That way he had a buffer between his new homes and those of his (remaining) neighbors.
