This is where I mention, houses are about $95/sq ft in my area... and lower, of course.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
msbelle, that's where we come up against the "is it really worth it to live there?" question -- not that you're not a BIG ATTRACTION to the area, but for me the hot humid weather, not to mention the local politics and social support are deal breakers.
(Whereas the South of France has good social support, wonderful weather. My lack of French could be worked on, since if I can magically conjure enough money to buy my own castle, I'll conjure enough more to hire an in-house language tutor.)

Plus, I've been told and choose to believe, older women get treated respectfully in France.

why backspace when you can ramble?
ita !, I stared at this for a while, wondering why it wasn't parsing, until I realized - in one of her Spider-man novels, Diane Duane described automatic weapons fire as sounding like "someone holding down backspace on an electric typewriter".
(I guess you'd know now - does it?)

Theo - I hear you on all that (but where I am is really not that humid).

btw - was listening to this program on my npr station when I went to get lunch. Might be of interest to many here [link] about the rise of people living alone in the last 60 years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess you'd know now - does it?
You know, I have remarkably little experience with electric typewriters! I went almost from manual to computers, thanks to growing up in Jamaica. So I only have the other side of that experience tattooed into my brain (unsurprisingly, it is).
I intend to fire one (it's not a bucket list thing, it's a "not while my head hurts so much" thing) sometime--at least before I have any overt intention of using an electric typewriter.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Castle-priced, but all updated since it's been used as a guest house for the last whatever years. Walking distance from tons of stuff. 10 bedrooms plus a separate apartment in back. Come on, Buffistas, who wants to pool funds and move to San Francisco?

You know, that's a fair description (the electric typewriter thing.) Having a rifle club's shooting range half a mile up the canyon from where I work, I get to hear all sorts of gunfire.
