The city where I live is a funny place.
It has a reputation for being a bit wild, and that stereotype is accurate.
I don’t know if the heat makes people a bit batty, or if weirdos just tend to settle here. However, I can tell you that there’s always some craziness going on within the perimeter. Everything is just a bit weird here. That includes the housing market. It seems like the city was built faster than could be logically planned. The layout of the streets don’t make a lot of sense and much of the construction work is shoddy. I’ve been looking at a number of houses recently, and I’ve seen some shocking carpentry work. In one house everything was at a slight angle. In another house, the doors were too large for the doorways. Most recently, I was in a home where it appeared as though they forgot to install the central heating and cooling system until it was too late. After the house was built, they came back through and attempted to install the central air conditioning devices. This strategy was not extremely effective. The first thing I noticed was the strange placement of the air vents in the house. They seem to be nonsensically placed in only certain areas of the home. I asked the home inspector why any contractor would possibly put the air vents in these inconvenient locations. He simply shrugged and said air quality is often overlooked in this area. As long as people have an AC unit, they don’t complain too much. I guess I’m not like everyone else in this city.
