To answer your question Rettie - I did look at Google Earth and figured that at 20k a building there really was no downside to the price. In terms of the buildings I've seen and lived in many worse places: New Cross Gate and Plumstead in London being a couple of examples that spring to mind. My own home town of Newcastle likewise has many dodgy places that on paper at least are worse than where you Southerners live.

What Google Earth cant show though is the out of control drugs problem in the town, and seemingly on this board. Notwithstanding that, I'm happy with what I bought, those buildings will always be good value. The collective assumption that I'll inevitably sell them once completed isn't necessarily the case. Just as likely that I'll keep them and stay, both in the town and on this board.

Now you really have something to moan about beyond the weather and each other :-)

Don't talk so daft Gettie, thurs no way tha would come to stay in Accy, an if tha geet an offer on thad building thad meks thee a profit thall grab id un run, so whoerti kiddin besides thi sen.
