And you sounded like someone who likes to jump to conclusion a lot, some
know-it-all, someone who doesn't have anythong better in life to do then
to pick a fight in a public forum.

When too many things a different, you obviously can't compare them with
just one criteria.  But I presume people would do such a cost/sq-footage
comparison for houses in the same neighbourhood.

Shame!  An open-ended question attracts such a close-minded response!!
