- In some markets, there's nothing wrong with renting. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 09:04 3
  - After owning houses, I'm finding I have no issue with renting and am in no hurry to purchase another home -- nm - decline Jun 17, 09:08
  - yep, like mine. It's still cheaper to rent. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 09:07

    - Old World Underground is great, though I'm less infused with their newest disc -- nm - Guy Jun 17, 09:12
