In my city, you can often find rows of houses for sale for $5-10k a piece from slum lords trying to exit the business. Tearing down the old homes would probably be expensive, but I think the city even has a program to help with some of that

I think it'd be good to start with a friends compound but then as you age, purchase additional lots so once everyone had families it would essentially be a neighborhood of friends. I'm not sure how you'd actually do that in r

It's really bad if your header row has less columns than the data rows. You really need to do the import vs just opening the file because it's not even obvious that it's dropping data unless you know what to expect from your

Excel is halfway decent if you do the 'import' but not if you just doubleclick on them. It seems to have been programmed to intentionally do stupid stuff with them if you just doubleclick on them.

This, it's dumb but Excel handles csv way better if you 'import' it vs just opening it. I use excel to quickly preview csv files, but never to edit them unless I'm OK only ever using it in Excel afterwards.
