Well, that's interesting. So there isn't a prison, Coleman, south of 44, the bonds aren't higher, taxes aren't higher and there is no traffic in the new areas and the landscaping south of 44 will never need replacing or the buildings need painting? Huh.

The poster was simply pointing out everything to take into consideration, I didn't see her telling the OP to only buy north of 44, just providing content for thought.

BTW, those south of 44 spend a lot of their precious time trying to get to the "big box stores" and those older floor plans and lot sizes may be desirable to some. But to make their choices, they should have all the details so they can decide what to choose. Neither location is a bad choice, just different elements to consider.
