Mea culpa on the comment relating to a move from an area near the tracks to the South Hills.  It was an unnecessary little anti-elitist "dig" and I apologize.  I do realize a lot of the folks in the South Hills have had their homes for decades and bought them for a mere fraction of what they're worth now.  Of course all that increased value does is impact your property taxes (up to the time of Measure 5).  Our little farm is worth about 20 times what we paid for it in 1971.  That's a "so what" unless we're willing to "sell out the farm."  Like those many folks in the South Hills, we're not ready to do that.  

regards, Gary
