Having moved from a complete rathole apartment to a rental house recently I've come to realize, dammit this is wayyy more work to maintain and clean! This freaking sucks!! I want to go back to a tiny apartment where I didn't have to spend Saturdays cleaning the windows. :P
People move to Cupertino for the school district, not for the nice house. The houses in Cupertino are, on average, modest and frumpy. Have you actually lived in Cupertino?
Let's just say Cupertino is in my blood. I wasn't thinking Atherton-scale window cleaning. Just to say -- if you move our of your ratbox and into the land of modest and frumpy, then this is what you should expect.
