I showed sound scientific data from the US Census Bureau that shows my statement is grounded in fact. If you want to be a smart ass by saying studio apartments and one bedrooms apartments aren't $1200, go ahead. I didn't change the perimeters, I just didn't define them because anyone with half brain wouldn't need them to be. <br><br>Best Regards,<br><br>Donovan<br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 2/21/09, Chasuk <i><chasuk@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: <span>Chasuk</span> <chasuk@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Rent Prices Was: Sen Schroeder<br>To:

Covered parking<br>2. The building must be new, or least not "old"<br>3. They must have a garage<br>4. They must have dishwashers<br>5. They must have central AC<br>6. They must exist on paved roads<br>7. They must have screens on the doors<br><br>And:<br><br>> Saw it. Wouldn't consider it. I couldn't live possibly live there.<br><br>8.
