It has a lot to do with perceptions.

But when you do not have to pay out to Uncle Sam that drives your dollars a lot further.You also are perceptive in respect of the list of buyers needed - and that is a priority in making things come together.

The rest, as they say, is immaterial and perception, in my opinion.I've also been in the "professional working world" for 12 years, and I can honestly say that your college, to a recruiter, is like "oh, that's a good school" or "oh, i never heard of them" -- once you get the experience nobody gives a damn about your GPA or your school.

It is disappointing that so many BP people are so absolutely naive with regard to real crime, the perception of crime, what is "good", what is "bad", who is "good", who is "bad", what the police can do, what the police will do, what the police should do, and on and on and on....DL 

Perception is everything.

We are all a sum total of our own experiences and perceptions.

You may of course describe what you feel or see... but perception often can be very different from the fact and you dont base investment decisions on just feelings.There are those on here who will often vehemently claim (wrongfully) that they have no idea what a housing affordability crises in LA even means.
