LOL! I think about $20 per year Some of the houses are grand old dames too. And with a 15 year abatement on improvements you can fork over for electrified bars on windows and still come out ahead.

Seriously, one of my 'Cleveland nephews' bought a small but servicable colonial in a very old part of town, an old industrial section where they've torn down all the houses across the street. He's got 1 neighbor on each side, that's it. You'd never believe it but he's got more privacy on his front porch than I've got in my backyard out in the exurbs.

And strange but true, sunsets on the beatup street and rundown industrial buildings & old machinery have a real kind of beauty. Really.

Plus, you can throw your empty beercans in the street and feel you're doing a public service, they'll be gone in the morning You do have to worry about passing crackheads stealing your stuff though.

Seeing as I don't have to worry about educating children anytime soon, that does sound pretty cool.

I lived in the ghetto for a year. It was a lot of fun walking to pool halls and bars. There was always something going on at the bars. I never was hassled while walking about in that neighborhood; however, I was gone by the time crack became popular.
