I wanted to include in the blog today but forgot a picture of a house just behind the school which is across the street from Adam and Annie's home in Mountain View, California (Silicon Valley).  This is the front and back of the house. It is an absolute wreck and is on a 60 x 90 foot lot. The house itself is less than 900 square feet. It is worth at least 1.2 million. 

That is four times what my 3200 square foot house on a acre and a half lot is worth in Perryville.  This house will be bought to be torn down and a new house built for another million.  Real estate prices are crazy around there as are taxes. The real estate taxes on a 1.2 million dollar house are about $24,000.00 per year.
