Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Normally I’d think the rooster chased them out, but we’re careful to leave the coop closed till 9am which muffles his voice a bit. Plus these guys were the ones who repeatedly told us how much they loved him & offered to hide him if the rooster police showed up. Now they’re gone. They were a really quiet group too. The house is available to rent for $4,100 a month. That’s 3x the mortgage on my broom.

Dang!

It is sad when the decent people move out.

And I agree, super stress waiting to see who moves in.

4,100
Why does anyone in their right mind live there?

In the 50 years I've been in the(same) house - the house next door has been sold 6 times. Guess some folks put down roots, and others have to keep on moving. Only Gus, Mr.Musil and Mr. Buck were originals from the time we moved in and still here.

The prices were high when we bought the broom 22yrs ago, but no where near what they are now. Crazy!!!

I only have one original neighbor & luckily they are great. The other 3houses have been bought sold & rented literally more times than I can count.

One of our original neighbors moved away - he wanted to go where fishing spots were plentiful. First time he went out on his boat - he had a heart attack & died. His wife got stuck there because she couldn't sell their house.

Oh how horrid.

Everyone who was here when I moved here.... left.... all of them. -sigh-

Well... except the guy I share a driveway with... but I truly almost never see him.... on super rare occasion his grown daughter comes up and spends a night in the place.

Oh... and this one guy who died, he is buried by the church... so I guess he is still here too.

Kid 3 just threw a fit... because I made him do a second page of penmanship... I blame the weather

He is now happily doing grammar.

Maybe he could switch to a more pleasing font?

How does a family of average means afford to live in CA!?
You are in CA, if I remember right.
I'm with Al; why does anyone put up with those prices & congestion if they don't have to?
Just help CA break away from the mainland & become a resort island playground for the "deep pocket" crowd.
