We (wife and I) have worked for 30 years to be able to enjoy a nice house with a golf course view (Happens to be a Toll home). This did take 15 years combined college education, some regular saving and appreciation of a previous home over 25 years. Our Toll home is well built, energy efficient and we were able to customize dozens of options. It won't last 300 years but neither will I.

We live in an area with 10 or more golf course communities and I love this since more golf courses means less housing congestion.

I'd rather not pay high gas heating bills but it's not 12 months a year, only 3 months a year.

I'm about as anti-republican as can be but don't try to sell me Hillary either. I'll be voting for Kaine in November and, with any luck, Virginia will have another Dem Governor. So, if you think only repubs buy $500K homes, not true (but the majority of my neighbors do seem to be repubs).
