It’s true. They say it all the time “we are friends, but…” I’m an adult with children. I’ve got friends that are liberal, not close with many at this point but keeping politics out of it (or trying to find common ground) is really the way this is possible. I cannot imagine being friends with ...

Regardless of personal taste, I agree with OP that the pricing doesn’t really add up. I know Greater Houston is a huge and unique housing market, but that seems like a lot of house with well kept grounds at that price. Like if someone listed that house in Bush, LA it would be more than that. Tha...
