It is so frightening how few homes we have seen suit our purposes. This feels like extreme goldilocks: too dirty, too big, too small, neighborhood is sketchy, too far away from work, getting stood up by realtors. We have two possibilities right now (neither of which is ideal) and we are resting our hopes on a secret property that only the realtor knows about that we will see

Good luck with housing Jesse and Le Nubian! Such a pain it can be, but luckily none of the places I've ever lived has been as bad as NYC or Boston or SF for finding places.
Ginger all the cool kids move to the PNW.
I was thinking about it before this latest blow to my finances. Maybe someday...
Le Nubian, all good grace to you in your househunt, too. A perfect jewel, beautifully kept, just reluctantly vacated for excellent reasons having nothing to do with real estate, with just a few more or just a bare fewer amenities than you ideally need, for just a little more or just a little less than you're prepared to pay, in a good neighborhood, with a decent commute.
Cindy! *tickles*

Oh, I heard back from Stephanie. She and the kids are on vacation away from Colorado Springs and they do indeed live south of the danger area.

OOh, that's what I want! Although I don't expect a jewel.
Also, anytime I watch a show on modern astronomy, I either know by name or sight 75% of the people interviewed and have probably talked to 30% of them face to face at some point. Small, incestuous world.
And look, there's the telescope site my dad helped found and develop and I basically grew up with...
