Dee, I tend to agree with you. Five years ago, we almost sold the house and put the money in a trust for my son and daughter.

We decided to hold the stay of execution for a few more years and as of now, I'm glad we did. We've been offered $42,000 more than we would have taken in three years ago. The booming housing market is a good sign.

There's some truth to the points Mr. Williams makes. Yeah, there are crazies walking around town. If we eliminate the MCT busses, that will decline. They get on the busses downtown and ride out to the suburbs to share their crazy show. And of course, they make the trips around the downtown to the food banks, Kettler and the Oxford House.

These are mostly people who have mental issues caused by drugs or just an underdeveloped socialization skill.

Either way we are staying for a few more years. Can't wait to see the April elections. If one of the circus acts that apparently performed at city hall the other night gets elected, we will sell sooner. LOL. We see enough loons on the street without having one in the mayor's chair.
