That's our plan after we build our home and adjust our budget. We want a custom home so we watching what we do. As far as trips with my boys I don't do them. Never did. I enjoyed being alone because I always had a PYT on location to hang out with. I remember trips to ATL with my homies. I would fly down and kick it Friday night then I'm ghost Saturday. LOL....

I don't plan to build another house...I want timeshares/condos in other countries to visit while keeping the one I have now maintained for when I come home....I just see so many good trips and experiences (hopefully) I can have versus a monthly mortgage for one home.

Timeshares are a form of mortgage.....we have one in Mazatlan and I LOVE it!!!!!

LOL...yall took my gays comment serious....LOL....

Let's be honest the rent is being pushed up to attract better elements of individuals. Howard University was once in the GHETTO back in 1999. Now....LOL....you have white folks walking small dogs.

My condo in DC is off Rhode Island Avenue about 100 yards from the Rhode Island Metro. It used to be crackheads walking around now it has totally changed. Again...white folks walking around with small puppies.

My greedy side says let it keep going up so I can make more money when I get ready to sell it. My other side says, "Damn how will the poor pay property taxes when the values of their homes go up." This is especially important for those seniors who have paid off their home and live off a set income.

This is the reason Louisiana has an Over 65 Freeze where your property value is frozen at 65 if your income is less then $72,000. Yet, when you get ready to sell the home the value goes up to the current market value when the freeze is removed.

Again VOTING matters.

That's what's happening here in Houston (3rd Ward). At least once a week on my way home, I see a young middle school aged white girl get off the bus and walk home passing by crack heads, corner stores where Lucky Leroy, Skillet and Tyrone standing out front. I don't know how in the hell her parents (new to the neighborhood) lets her walk home better yet walk home alone! Many stay at home moms jogging thru the hood with baby stroller but with big ass dogs. lol

That's what's happening here in Houston (3rd Ward).........

One night a few days ago, I went to the Turkey Leg Hut on Almeda Rd. and it was almost as many whites and Hispanics there as it was Black folks. I went to Alfreda's Cafeteria for lunch, one day and there were these white people walking their dogs down the street. When I first came to Houston back in the 70's, whites would not be caught dead on that part of Almeda. But they are there now.
