Do they still label the bodies of water as "may or may not hold water"? I couldn't figure out what our sales rep meant every time she pointed to a pond and referred to it as a "may or may not".
How true. I remember a few years ago when we were looking at houses. There was a "premium lot" overlooking the golf course (the course was on the other side of a very busy main street with a lot of traffic, and there was a tiny drainage pond there. I think they wanted at least an additional $50K for that house, because of the so called water/golf course view. Turns out the drainage pond is dry about 9 months/year.
