How is this not considered a racist comment?? No need to defend it. Majority of those foreigners like Indians are doctors and work in the I.T field how is that illegal???

Haha I'm with ya. This isn't worth any more brain waves though.

Yup. Foreigner simply means someone from a different geo-political organization (nation). It has nothing to do with race. It is pretty scary for a place that is supposed to be so highly educated.

Riiiight. I'm sure you're referring to Canadian immigrants and the like.

Second, I agree with you for the most part...many big time drug dealers you won't even know they are drug dealers and they don't necessarily live in fancy homes. They live in pretty middle class neighborhoods and could be right next to you and you wouldn't even know it.
Oh, I totally know this. I watched Breaking Bad.

I have some neighbors who have dark skin and they talk kind of funny. I can't prove it yet, but I know that they must be involved in illegal activities. They don't speak English when they talk on their cell phones in public, so that real Americans won't know what they're up to. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were causing this housing crisis.

To get back with what this thread was initially about...

(how's that for a segue?)


There are four homes for sale in my immediate neighborhood and maybe 4-5 which must be in the process of cleaning out/being put up for sale, evidenced by the dumpsters in their driveways. I know three of the four families, albeit not super well. They're a combination of downsizing and estate sales. Two of the homes are being sold "as is", which, as I've said before, is usually the case in my area given the number of elders we have. One is a FSBO. The other one is in pristine condition.

Note that none of them are under 500K, which is par for the course in my area, not even the ones "as is".
