Change in plans
2 weeks ago
At first, this goal was part of a larger plan of buying land in the Capital Region, and building a Rocio Romero house to live in. Now my ideas have changed, we bought a house in Cohoes, and I have gotten into the idea of urban living and revitalizing existing downtown infrastructures instead of building new. That seems like the responsible (environmentally and definitely financially) and right thing to do. So, since we bought a house, you could say technically, we do own the 25’ wide by 100’ long piece of land underneath it.
But I am keeping this goal because I still hold on to this sick belief in becoming one of those dreaded second home owners, which I admit goes against all of that urban living philosophy. How great would it be to buy a plot of land in the Thousand Islands and plop a Wee House down on it?
