By the way, how the hell is everyone? It’s been a busy few days over here at The Ranch. (I don’t really have a ranch)

@DistroJunkie I would like a ranch, but all I have is this house, and I would have to commute. Actually, what I want is a parcel with a nice cave on it out in Real, Sutton, Edwards or Val Verde counties.

You still live in the old neighborhood near our old high school? That neighborhood has grown incredibly in value. Our old house that my parents bought for $30K is now worth $500K. A person could sell out and upgrade further from town.

@DistroJunkie South of 35th st, east of MoPac. We’re a block from Shoal creek up on a bluff.

I remember that as a nice neighborhood. I haven't lived in Austin since 1983. My in-laws live over in Lakeway, very expensive and nice. Before that they lived in Pflugerville and Cat Mountain. I was always a South Austin person. Travis Heights, Stacy Park area has always been my favorite neighborhood.

@DistroJunkie Back In 93, my landlady tried to sell us our rental on E. Live Oak for 140k & we thought she was nuts, & passed. I bet it’s worth 700k now.

@Devils_Rancher
Yeah, many of the parents of our high school friends have been gentrified out of that neighborhood. It's a shame.
