Long story short, i've lived in my neighborhood for about 3 years and it's been nothing but headaches. Several rental houses around me with new tenants every year, and of course they don't follow any of the subdivision restrictions and are just a general nuisance. These bastards renting their houses out drive down my property value and cause me grief. I wish I could say the annoying tenants were all non-whites but sadly, most of them have been whites without any manners. Although, we do have some sand ******s now that are a nuisance. Anyway, in order to try to make the wife happy, and because i thought it best for my kids, we moved to a new subdivision when i really wanted to live in the country. My wife is onboard with moving to the country now, although part of me suspects that secretly she won't be happy about it. Regardless, the constant noise and nuisances of neighbors makes me want to move ASAP.
The problem is i don't see much available in the country and anything that comes up goes fast. We looked at a perfect country house and they accepted another offer before we ever got the chance to put one in. It's crazy. The other problem is trying to get rid of the house we're in. I'd lose 20-30 thousand after all is said and done, which is a lot of money to me. But i think being happy would make it worth it. But I also wonder if i'm being selfish. The town we are in offers the kids more opportunities and more kids to play with than being isolalted in the country. The thought of moving sounds like a nightmare, with as much stuff as we seem to have accumulated. And what if we sell our house and can't find something or buy a hosue and can't sell this one. Part of the reason we bought this house is because we sold my previous house and were living in a crappy aptmt and needed to find a place.
It pains me to say, but even moving to this 95% white town hasn't been the peaceful joy I expected. People are rude and selfish. Now I just want the peace and quiet of the country and let the rest of the world go to hell for all I care. Any thoughts appreciated. I've lived in the city, in the suburbs and in a small town. The only place I haven't tried is in the country.
