People who work in the service industry, including teachers are not the type of people who can afford these places. <BR/><BR/>The elevated bit is indeed scary. Especially if its build by a developer with a history of ignoring enviromental issues.Lisannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249500003559750141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810483957175720940.post-31944766369074242142008-02-29T11:35:00.000-05:002008-02-29T11:35:00.000-05:00Please don't distribute inaccurate numbers as that...Please don't distribute inaccurate numbers as that just causes confusion.

Don't be fooled - this is 100% upper income (+$100,000) housing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
