Default Avoid bond areas!!!

50,000 dollars for a bond and a lifetime of annual GUARANTEED CITY TAXES! No thanks.

Avoid new areas and their bonds like the plague. The money you save moving to a more northern area can buy A LOT of upgrades. Additional city taxes on a new home run north of 1000 per year on almost any house south of 44. Besides, most upgrades like a driveway or granite are already done in a preowned home. Heck, half the time the furniture is included too.
