YES MAN.

stop this notion of needing to have a BIG HOUSE because every other american your age bracket has one. your kids are out now, don't invite them to move back in by having an inhabitable basement

we've been lucky to find a cheap house; lots of students in the neighborhood so owners/agents are happy to see faculty members instead; and fuck, WE CAN WALK EVERYWHERE from where we'll be living.

if your wife can get a transfer to the fbi HQ, i highly recommend dc. yes it has gotten out of this world expensive but if you could buy a condo by the metro (say the duke ellington apts on U street) she could take a quick metro ride to work and holy fuck man you'd be in heaven just walking everywhere.

quality of life, not "property value" is #1 thing to look out for, the way i see it. when we decide to move, two or three weeks ago, we went crazy looking at craigslists and finally said fuckit, let's move to nob hil and nob hill only (that's where UNM is located). our house is not in the best shape but it's got space to live and work and plenty of places to go around. the place is not, you know, greenwich village, but it's got everything-- i have a friend who lives there and never leaves the neighborhood-- ha ha ha.

anyway hm i don't know about florida. go for a blue state. albuquerque is full of liberals, recycling is big, energy conservation is big, bikes are everywhere, so it feels decent. the music scene needs work but with the film industry moving into the state other shit is popping up.

anyway i'm glad she's seen the light and you guys are finally agreeing on this.
