>Oh, if you only knew how much that sent my eyes to spinning around in my head! *g* We're in Northern California, where there's darned little space, and the housing prices are so outrageous we're choking every time we start thinking about moving!
For reference, we're in a 1500 square foot condo, in a high density downtown area, with similar units going for 500K US. And it's considered a "bargain"! Most of the houses in this area are over $1M at this point -- some of those houses SMALLER than our condo!
I like your idea about what would be nice, though: a bit of space, a white picket fence, and nice weather. In fact, before I complain, I'm going to go sit on our balcony and enjoy some of our weather today...
