1 AnswerOther - Business & Finance7 years agoIS the following real estate add legal? would it pull some quiet folks?
I Thought of putting the following add on Craigslist in California? What do you think?
Are YOU the quiet one? At Sour Pizza Vista we have FIVE mobile homes for sale, but we need calm and quiet persons to reside in two of these homes. (The park used to be a 55 and older park and is still a very quiet place, even though some families are here.) Homes 501 and 509 (both doublewides) require owners of a calm and quiet demeanor. Particularly in the night hours between 8 pm and 7 am. The children next door recharge their batteries sleeping those hours.
If we can not find someone quiet to buy these homes, maybe we'll just let them stand empty.
If you have ever lived with sleepless kids you'll know how we feel. Not a pretty picture. So if you greet the morning sun with roar and flames from your motorbike or play long and loud guitar riffs late into the wee hours, we will be much more interested in showing you the other 3 homes at 1, 2, and 3. (a couple of singles and a double-wide)
We don't care about race, sex, nationality, religion as long as it is your custom to be quiet. Traditional librarians would of course be eagerly courted.

When one state has 7 per cent plus sales tax and another no sales tax, you would think border towns would have larger and more varied stores on the cheaper side. But on California Oregon no such architecture is visible on Google aerial maps? how come?
Am I just not looking at the right place or does Oregon get a pound of flesh from retailers some other way.
Any border town between a high tax and a low tax State or country is what I want to see.
