Is Your Neighbor Having Too Much Money Really Something To Bitch About?

Submitted by Maverick on April 6, 2006 - 2:45pm.

I just hope that by the time I'm ready to build my Starter Castle jealous people haven't made that impossible anywhere but Timbuktu.

Seriously, what is the complaint here? We're not talking about people tearing down beach-front one-stories and building sky-rises blocking everyone else's view. Are increasing property values really something someone should be complaining about? "You're making me too wealthy with your big fancy house!" What the hell.

Someone built a replica of the White House?!?

And why not? I mean, if you're paying for your home, then you should be able to build it to your liking, correct?

People who have lived in an area a long time and bought their house cheap stand to make a lot of money as property values increase, said Lang. "If you don't think you can pay the taxes, sell the house, then downscale the living space and live somewhere else in a nice place," he said. He is not particularly sympathetic to the argument that people should be able to live in a neighborhood forever. "Who said everything's frozen for all time?" He added, "Some seniors live in an area where there's housing abandonment. I'll bet they'd like to trade."

I loved this... "Who said everything's frozen for all time?"
If you're not happy about your property value increasing --
MOVE!

I know people will complain about anything -- but complaining because the houses are too big... too affluent? Please...

I'm disappointed someone beat me to the White House Replica, though. Ok, not really, I'm most of a castle person. Starter Castle here I come!

Could I build my own mall??

I don't want a White House replica or a castle... just a mall.

THAT would be cool... or if I can't have a whole mall, then maybe just something like.... Target ;-) I ♥ Target. I'd be happy w/that.
