Home Ownership

Been looking more seriously at buying a place near the U.... but the prices are amazingly high! Just started waiting for bird flu to pop the housing bubble with a 25% fatality rate.

It's the age old question of: (a) settle for a crappier place with less features, (b) get what you want but live further away or (c) forget the whole notion of home ownership. I have never been one for settling.

I'm also on the brink of a new economic theory: working less so that you can devote more time on comedy is directly proportional to how hard it is to find a home in your price range.

Days like this make me want to work even less. It's just not worth it. What I wouldn't give to make some more pottery.

Dude! Bag that small town carp and move to the Big Apple and get a day job at Columbia and do stand up and improve on the eves and weekends.

Then the cost of an apartment becomes moot, because they ALL expensive there!

A.)...and then improve it...just make sure the toilet isn't in the NW corner or you might be flushing all your future successes away.

or
C.) and come to Italy instead and fall in love with a mafia kingpin's daughter.

jeez. mr. blog is right - "MOVE TO THE BIG APPLE, for gosh sakes. live a little first. you can always come back." i say buying a place in MN *is* settling.

OOps, so sorry, a mafia kingpin's daughter committed suicide yesterday, hope it wasn't because of my comment to your blog.
