houses and murders and stuff

i hate this.

you see a new house listing. goes something like this:

Remarks: BANK OWNED! 2 Beds 2 Bath w/ 1800+ sq.ft. living space (public record shows 2 beds 1.5 bath w/1147 sq. ft. permit unknown). This home has been completely rebuilt. Recessed lightning, Updated baths, Updated kitchen, Updated everything!!! With high ceilings, Arched entryways and spacious floorplan.

sounds great huh?!

you Google Street View it.
Looks okay!





price is right: $229,000.



but then you go to www.oaklandnet.com and do a crime search.
and you see this:


click to see larger. in the last 3 months, there were 3 car thefts right on the corner. ah, no thanks, i like my car. assaults, drugs, all kinds of fun things.

I came across this house today on a listing. i thought it was a typo before i looked at the picture. $49,000. yep. you heard right.



i don't even want to do a crime search on that one. But, the couch cushions out front really are nice, aren't they?


in other news:

Do I really want to take public transportation? Maybe not.

Dad is now asking for help because God implanted a load of babies into his daughter's belly. Oh, you mean God didn't do that? Hmm. And speaking of God...come on people. PLEASE.STOP.BREEDING. The crazy right wingnut population is already out of control. please. stop.

The chimp that attacked the woman (poor chimp, poor woman)..his owner..seems a little nuts, no? Oh, and the 911 operator who took the call, fire his ass. I think he actually laughs at her.

They better figure this shit out, pronto. I'm not kidding.

We have to watch this! HGTV Dream Home Giveaway 2009 airs: Sunday, Mar. 15 at 8/7c.
Because maybe we won!!! Hey, it could happen, we entered every day! But, I guess if we win, we won't be watching it on TV, we'll be there in the house.

This is minty fresh, and is making me ..sleep..y...zzz

and last but not least...someone's gonna fall off the couch!

bye!
