What Housing Problem?

Share
You wouldn't know that there is a economic problem with housing in my area. With military bases being consolidated into Fort Bragg, construction around here has been busier than beavers working on their version of the Hoover dam. Not only are there more houses and condos (and a lot less trees and open fields) but I'm beginning to see a proliferation of extended stay hotels. You can't miss them with their truck-sized TV screen atop a 20 foot pole and blindingly blaring their latest rental special. "One bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room for $199 a week" I hope that includes a bathroom or at least a very large bucket. The price is better than a hotel stay but it still seems rather expensive. I just wish that those TV screens would show other channels.

haha! good if it does, but what if it'll only let you access to local shows, what will you do? i think you should hope for a TV screen that will link you to a different world.. lol! but for me, if it's that nice with such price as that, why not? i would always go for a clean bedroom with down pillows of course, this will really satisfy my stay. :)
