BUT THEN, the thread continued to include an absolutely cringeworthy post from someone reporting to have actually made it a point to drive past the house and then returned to TOTV to rip on the house. (shudder) That creeped me out and made me regret taking part in the thread — even though it was just my general commenting about some sellers being tax-smart.

THEN came all sorts of rude, baseless, downright tacky speculation on the personal lives of an unknown homeowner just trying to sell a house that they do not want or need anymore for reasons that are none of anyone else’s business.

This kind of thing has happened before on TOTV. It is rude and downright disgusting sometimes.

Btw, the house in the pictures looks lovely and is beautifully decorated by someone with exquisite taste.

Thank you, Lakeside 5012, for posting what I have been wanting to post this morning.

I agree. I'm sorry that my post was cringeworthy. It was not worded properly. I was trying to point out that the traffic noise may be an issue for some buyers, which is something that has been discussed many times on this site.
