re: #95 unproven innocence

Congrats. People don’t speak up enough of the benefits of owning a condo. I’ve owned one for 12 years. I don’t worry about either yard maintenance or a rise in rent. (Condo fees are another story). And if I leave, I can sell and actually get some money back. Plus I can pretty much decorate the place as I want (wall colors, flooring, whatever). And because I owned my place, I was able to take advantage of both HARP and a program that paid my mortgage to retain my home during a hard stretch back in 2010.
