Trailerload of
old peopleBoomers waxing nostalgic for their youth & the good economic times at B-Juice. Housing inflation being one of the reasons today's homeowners cite for their being worse off than their parents w/ their cushy union jobs, one of them investigated on a personal basis using the magic of the Internet.
We were curious too (as well as desperate for something more interesting to run than the usual dick-wagging at reactionaries wagging their pin-dicks) so we peeped at a couple of places from the long gone days when we lived in houses, rather than apartments or tar-paper shacks behind someone's garage.
The first house in which we remember living stood on this alleged acre lot.
The thing there now was built in 2000, no idea if a dot-com zillionaire had previously razed the ancestral manse or not. No, there was no pool when we were there. Our damn
house wasn't much larger than the pool (& in about the same spot). And no, we will never forgive our parents for (among other crimes) not holding onto the place until they could leave it to us to sell to some Silicon Valley digital fool for a large wad of green.
First & only new house we ever occupied.
1966. No idea what the units paid for it. Lot: 8,555 sq. ft.; house: 1,850. (Don't know if that includes the garage, which is about half of the upper "wing.") At least it hasn't been demolished.
