I'm still gasping.

I did not mean that felons should vote. What happened was that over 90,000 people were listed as felons, according to a recent documentary that I watched. All were denied voting rights before Bush's last election. Most of them (95%) were not felons. Most of them were black democrats. Given the close election in Florida, it is statistically certain that the results would have been different, IF those voters had not been kicked off the voter rolls.

I did not vote for Kerry, and I did not vote for Bush. There is little difference between Democrats and Republicans. We need honest politicians who have not sold out to the "K" Street crowd, and we certainly do not have very many in Washington .... in either party .... really one party with two heads.

Now we have a political thread...it should be moved.

Good luck Frank, hope you get elected.

What's your campaign slogan? I always liked George Leroy Tirebiters (from the old Firesign Theatre). "I'm always right and I never lie."......

Someone from North Carolina will probably make a suggestion.

Hi, Kerry, on this one, it looks to me like incompetence. I will speak with Francois because you have to see the inside of the subject to be able to form an opinion.
This house is approx. 6,200 SF, built in 1975. All bathrooms are still 1975, shell sinks etc. Kitchen also dated ( when he appriased it in Dec 2007) There are murials painted on the ceiling, gold leaf moulding, she is from Austria. Flooring is old parquet wood floors.
Appliances etc. are worn and from the 70's.
He went to Saint Augustine for two comps, ( twenty miles away) only "listings" for the subdivision. I found a comp in the subdivision, not by magic, just MLS-HA!
He made no explanation of why he adjusted or why he did not ( large lot size differences-no adjustments) why??
He simply stated "The adjustments in the market analysis are self-evident and were estimated by a comparison of sales to the subject and each adjustment is condisered to be accurate and justiifed.
He used 2005,2006 houses with high quality materials, homes with media rooms, etc. no adjustments for condition. No explanation to why he didn't.
The reason I also think it was incompetence is he under adjusted on the price per square footage for a 2.4 Million home.
He adjusted 2,500 for a difference between a 2 car garage and 3!!
Yeah maybe in some areas, depending on market, but not in high end country club/golf course communities, buyers will pay more, anyhoo, back to the report........I'm finding even more stuff!

What about his opinion of value? Was it gross mis-judgment?
