Gladys.... So enjoy your postings. Instead of these fictitous polls,which i might add, that they never have polled myself.I think they should just play a board game, say the game of Life,Clue,Monopoly,Candyland or maybe just pin the tail on the donkey. This would probably give a truer statistic. Terry

You omitted the vocal slumlords who stand to profit.
