I give "big props up" to the Developer and he is helping all of us.
buggyone: could you please share that good news with Ben Bernanke at the Fed so that he will begin to taper down on QE and begin raise the interest rate so that some of retirees might make a percent or two investing in CD's. I mean his days as the nation's central planner are way over due
PS: in case your request arrives late you may want to include Janet Yellen

Personal Best Regards

Hmmm...let's see...I'm the developer and I have these homes for sale. Because of the market here people will pay higher prices. I have determined that it would be a smart business decision to sell the homes for less...thereby bringing down the value of all of the homes here. Wow, that's a good idea so everyone will think I'm a good guy! But wait! If I do that the property values will decrease and I'll be the bad guy again. Lordy, Lordy..what should I do???? It is soooo hard to be responsible for the happiness of the 100,000 + people that live there in this miserable existence that we have provided. God forbid they should experience any distress...after all, they do pay their $145 a month! Oh shoot..just remembered...some people are paying a couple of dollars more and some a couple of dollars less. This was brought up recently and apparently some are not happy. This job is sooooooo hard. I only wish I could find 100,000 people that all want the same things.

I don't know how that could have happened. I distinctly remember my folks telling me "Don't you get smart, young lady".
