Premiums to be on a golf course were very high and I paid it more than five years ago. I do not know what they were for ponds at that time. Since the interest rate on the bonds runs over 6 percent, if you decide to stay in your house for any great length of time, paying off the bond makes economic sense. I would certainly not eat it if I sold my house. Many people do not do the math. Buying a house with a bond would be like paying an additional mortgage on their house. How do they not see that? I am surprised to hear that the density south of 44 is less, not because I do not see it, driveways are shorter ,etc., but they are loaded with villas and I would have assumed their gain in density because of that would have balanced out the number. I have not, however, counted the housing units.
