davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[davidd]

I missed the point about the Vulcan house, I think...  You're thinking 250 is a lot?  

I failed to eress myself clearly; and clearly I am not up to speed on home prices in Canada. Vulcan is in the middle of nowhere and as far as I know there is no major industry. When I passed through, it seemed like a "dying town." So to me, $250k for what looks like a dump (as you say, surprisingly nice inside) was a surprise. I would have eected that price to be on the upper range in a forgotten cow-town on the prairie.

By comparison, your island, with obvious appeal ("quaint" fishing village charm and ocean glimpse from nearly everywhere) seems bargain priced.

But then, I live in the middle of nowhere, and $250k will get you a tear-down dump less than half the size of the one in Vulcan on a lot less than half the size of the one in Vulcan that looks like the meth lab junkies moved out and left their dogs behind to fill up the house with urine and feces.

Apparently a "real house" here now commands $600k and up. Mostly up.

Now I understand your despair even more. Even if I could sell what I currently have, what could I do with the money? A run-down crack-house that probably smells like the last dog that died there?

(The one with carpet on the walls sounds kinda cool! Do you have a link?)

In other weirdness: the US government is considering bringing back pirates; or, more specifically, privateers.
