Your assertion doesn't even make 1st base by simply considering cashier = owner, as is the case of many small businesses; it conflates one possible usecase as the only valid usecase.

If you own and actually live in the house, why would it matter? Property tax and HOI also drop...that's a net win IMHO.

The irony is South Florida is rich. As somewhat alluded to by another remark, even low-income housing on Guam--as ugly as they may be--makes Florida construction standards look skimp.

That inside top cover with molded signatures is quite beautiful. I wonder what the cost of such an easter egg was back then. How'd they even do it? Chemical or CNC etch the tooling, or some other method?

I'm not following the logic behind the annual taxes row. It blows up with child #1, increases again but not nearly as much at #2, and blows up again at #3. Wouldn't having dependents reduce your tax liability? Is this some state t

A bit ironic but Maricopa, AZ isn't actually part of Maricopa County; it's in Pinal County. EDIT: Also worth noting that it's a ~45-60 minute commute from Maricopa to Boeing in Mesa. I make an equivalent commute every weekday

What does $1,789/mo lease you in that area? I suspect the data presumes 2 bedrooms: 1 room for parents, 1 room for children. The pattern is effectively the same regardless of state/county.

In all seriousness, the absolute crap that manifests from schematics developed in Eagle coming out of the open source community is a personal pet peeve. An example of almost everything you shouldn't be doing with respect to at least th
