Another home wrecked

You keep getting confused, and off the point. Its houses, houses, homes,
residences. Not number of accidents, not car dealerships,...

WTF indeed. It is you that keeps missing the point. You quote two or
three accidents where an aircraft crashes into a house and call it an
epidemic (clearly you don't know the definition of the word, but I'll
leave it at that) Tragic for sure, but it hardly compares to the 43,000
some-odd deaths on the highway last year. That is certainly more of an
epidemic - do you follow now?

Oh never mind. The brain damage is apparently too severe.

It can't be THAT bad, after all I did finish the training and get my
license. Can you say the same? Eh?

I think Pete Duniho was right. You're just not worth the effort and
pointing out your inconsistencies has become tiring.

I'm willing to take that bet. So what are your numbers and how are they
derived?

I don't have the numbers, and never said (or implied) that I did. I
simply stated that I would bet that is the case. If anyone can get that
data and I am wrong, I will gladly send $25. ;-)

I would bet the interior of the asteroid Ceres is made of cream cheese. If
anyone can go there and find out I am wrong, I will gladly send $25.

You're on! Let's see the data that supports this notion.

Man, this is becoming an epidemic!

Damned shame that house wrecked a perfectly good airplane, too! Not to
mention the crew casualties.

The CNN article leads: "A small plane crashed into a house at the end of a
runway..." and it got me a'thinkin'.

What a GREAT PLACE to build a house. Here in Oregon a developer build a
suburb and sold all the lots...behind a National Guard rifle range that had
been used since WWII. Then the homeowners hollered 'cause they were too
goddam dumb to check out the neighborhood before buying.

I almost bought a really nice piece of land with some friend;
great place, and priced significantly lower than market in this
area; being suspicious by nature I investigated a bit; turned
out it was cheap because of a right of way feud -- no other
access -- with a retiree neighbor whose only hobby had been to
sue his neighbors for decades); doesn't have to be next to a
firing range, smelly chemical plant, flood plain, airport,
or other places favored by developers... i.e., in addition
to zoning laws, geological surveys, and others stuff, spend
some time at the local court house reviewing the records! :-)

Sounds vaguely familiar to those twits that buy homes near an airport
and then bitch about the noise at town meetings. No sympathy for fools
here...

or the idiots who buy a house next to a farm, and then complains
about the smell of manure.

Looking for a sig the
lawyers will hate

I'd prefer the farm to the local garbage dump. About 20 minutes from me
a developer is
building houses not only across the street from the dump, but the dump
is in the background of every yard. Now, who is the bigger fool, the
developer who invested the big
money, or the buyers of the houses?
