I chose car collector, family w/many children, gang member, and convenience store.

Three of these live in my neighborhood.

#1 lives across the street, and all summer long (and I am not exagerrating here) he tunes and revs cars, the worst of which is a drag racing car that emits horrible ear shattering noise which I'm sure can be heard blocks away. This is one of the many reasons I hate summer, but that's another topic.

#2 also lives across the street and one of the small girls screeches & shrieks constantly so that I can hear it all the way across the street, as far as I can see the 'rents do nothing to quiet her. I hear duct tape fixes everything. But again that's another thread.

#3 lives at the end of the street which originally was a dead end but was opened up by the city when a culdesac of cheap cookie cutter houses was built. They rage down our street at speeds way over the limit and paint graffiti on houses here. It's gotten so bad that we (on this street originally) are actually fighting the city to put in a blockade or speed bumps.

#4 would make my Hell complete. I've worked in a convenience store and I've seen the types of people that frequent this place. Methhead & redneck city. I would definitely not want to live next door to the place.

Give me dogs, the unemployed and a child-free couple anyday *relief*

Anyway, I feel for you. You will begin receiving hate mail for your post as I will AGAIN now too. I always get hate mail when I say bad about white kitchens but laugh because I know the truth. Sometimes posting about white cabinets stirs up as much shid as posting about abortion or religion. I don't get it and I'm far smarter then the average Bear. Oh well.........hit me with the hate mail. Come on I'm ready!
Sheesh Desertsun...for someone that is always calling HOA'a communists, you sure put a lot of faith into facts and figures of "organizations". What makes them exactly reputable and well...does it even matter? We are after all talking about kitchen cabinets.

Hate mail? Really? You are such a card. If you are getting hate mail I am sure it's not over white cabinets. It might have to do with something else. Your post is missing your favorite quote. Don't let the big orange take your little green.

lol. I hate MY white cabinets, and I have to open them! They just need to be redone and I can't do anything about it right now. White cabinets are ok, just not my first choice.

I could live without gang members, HOA members, convenience stores, outside dogs and a boatload of kids.
