Lived in the Balto/Wash corridor some time ago; am always floored by the cost of housing in the DC area. Glad not to be there, actually; 300K for a townhouse is insanity (not to mention more than we could afford.)CMinorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305306030099439903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589378.post-1169914200439796312007-01-27T11:10:00.000-05:002007-01-27T11:10:00.000-05:00How many more kids you planning on fitting in ther...<I>How many more kids you planning on fitting in there, eh?</I><BR/><BR/>unfortunately because of health issues none, unless we adopt.<BR/><BR/>BTW southeast is correct. <BR/><BR/>Property tax is an issue with me.<BR/>With the amount I pay in property tax, 70% goes to the public schools. 60% of my tithe at my parish goes to the parish school. I end up paying 3 times as much to educate other peoples kids than I do to homeschool my own.

Heck, we could fit TWO of our house into that, and we have three children and a cat. What does one do with all that space?<BR/><BR/>I think this is a very appropriate discussion for Catholics to have.
