I'm sorry, but it seems you are implying people are leaving in bunches because of some underlying fear of something wrong with TV. If that is your implication, or perhaps your fear, then I would strongly advise you to stay away from TV. If not, I apologize for misreading your posts. If I misread, please state your point so no one can confuse it.
Seems to me that you are a little overly sensitive about this post. I read it as a legitimate question, with no critical implicatons. I have noticed that a few posters on this site, react rather forcefully whenever someone brings up something that they view as critical or questioning of TV or the Morses etc. The fact is that while TV is pretty damned good it is not perfect and there are probably people who would legitimately find it not to their liking (not me by the way). This country has been built on the concept of listening to all sides and welcoming dessent, and TV will be better for folks who stay vigilant and hold the developer's feet to the fire. JMHO

Gracie, you might have the right idea with the love triangle! Of course, being from Utah, my first thought was -- Polygamists?

You guys are right. I mistakenly thought this post was originated by someone who attempts a lot of stirring up on the site and therefore mistook the motive for the question. I reviewed the post and found I was wrong and I apologize to the originator of the thread.

It's tough getting old without getting cranky. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

There's got to be something more to the story than three families wanting to sell their homes. To list three of seven homes on the same day is more than coincidence.
Or, perhaps it is a wayward Great Dane whose master cannot control where she poops?

Bad day at a block party???

Sinkhole rumor?

It is very curious. Would one of you guys who knows which houses they are call one of the listing agents and ask? Then let the rest of us know.

Another possibility is that perhaps a sex offender recently moved onto the street. Maybe existing residents have grandchildren who visit and they no longer wish to live on the street. You can always view the registries to determine if this is a possibility. Or, perhaps all three homeowners have decided to purchase new homes together in a new village. Only asking the current residents will result in the answer ... if they are honest in their reply. They may not be if it's a negative, since they are trying to sell. The answer only really matters if you're interested in purchasing one of the homes.

We all goof up sometimes. That's very nice of you to apologize.

I don't think I would have that much competition. I'm one of the best in the field.

Yikes, and I might win for changing the subject. Did anybody try to make calls to inquire about these three sales. It is strange. I am curious.
