Okay,
Both of you assholes listen up

Snohomish is in the middle of nowhere
and Bothell is a housing development with a city council and a PTA

9 miles from Everett, 31 from Seattle is the middle of nowhere? I used to go to Whidbey Island (US Navy) and remember travelling to Snohomish to meet with friends. You have some interesting definitions of middle of nowhere, fancy houses, etc...

And Bothell has about 35k people. That's one heck of a housing development.

Winthrop, WA is the middle of nowehere.

George. George, Washington....THAT is the definition of "the middle of nowhere".

I have to have a very good compelling reason to travel more than 30 miles anytime.

30 miles 1 way or round trip? In 30 miles, one way, I can get from home to any point in and around Charlotte, 35 miles and i'm at Lake Norman.7 miles I can boating on Lake Wylie.

Good question. I'll have to think on that one.

I can see 30 miles, 1 way, not being worth it.

Snohomish WA. is mathematically the middle of nowhere
You can't argue with science people

See Andy's comments for further clarification

I'll be sure and let my brother know. He'll be so disappointed.

You guys are all wrong. It is, in fact, Roosevelt, Utah.

I felt that way living in Michigan a few years back. Driving the distance of Dover to Philly for a minimum wage job isn't the most exciting reason.

Not quite. The actual spot is in the middle of Nebraska.

in his new $600,000 lake house.

Bernie Sanders Buys $600K Lakefront Summer House in Vermont

Bernie Sanders, the socialist who challenged Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, is dropping fat cash on a hot new lakefront pad.

The income inequality expert reportedly bought a $600,000 “camp” on the Champlain Islands in Vermont last week, which he plans to use as a seasonal getaway locale.

Bernie’s new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of beautiful shorefront access on the banks of Lake Champlain. Sanders and his wife plan to keep their home in nearby Burlington, as well as their fashionable rowhouse on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

Bernie should fit right in as a member of the Champlain Islands community. There is a general store down the road from his new digs, for example, that serves a turkey sandwich called “Feel the Bun” in his honor. It features a “HUGE” roll, because Bernie says the word “huge” a lot. Also, provolone cheese.

“It’s not fair that the Billionaire Class controls 99 percent of the bread,” reads the sandwich’s description on the menu. “Here’s a sandwich for the rest of us … to keep us nourished until everything cool is free!”

Sanders’ wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, said the whole family is excited about the new purchase. O’Meara Sanders is the former president of Burlington College, which was forced to close due to the “crushing weight of the debt” incurred under her leadership.

Bernie Sanders is already being mocked on Twitter for buying a fancy home despite spending his whole career railing against rich people and their fancy things.

How ironical.

My driveway is longer than that.

[houndawg]

Sure. Again I don't know how much he gives to charity already and I don't know what the appropriate amount is.

I also don't look at taxes as charitable giving. And I don't check to see if my friends are paying their fair share or are giving enough. I want reasonable tax rates that cover the cost of America for everyone but...Kalm.

I deserve better because I'm me!

You also weren't running for president on the premise that the system is Rigged and we should tax the **** out if people wth money to fix it. Look under normal circumstances I could give a ****. I don't think Bernie is loaded (not like Hillary) but I think if you really believe in what you say you shouldn't turn around and one month after stopping your run As the champion for the lil people buy your third house. Just my humble opinion you look like a hypocrite

If he pays his share of the taxes he's advocating then so what?

[houndawg]

Bernie isn't the only one who is bat **** crazy.

You are entitled to your opinion...
And yes homes in Georgia are ridiculously cheap I know that
I've got a very good friend in Marietta and I can't believe how little he paid
for what people on the west coast would call a mansion

You'd believe it if you had to live in Marietta, Georgia.

[houndawg]

I'm not rich
and in March 2017 I will have 2 houses around that price range
and in a few years a 3rd isn't out of the question

I've never made much more than $150K a year
and many years I made far less than that

14 years ago I lost everything in a brutal divorce
and as an almost 40 year old adult (back then) was working 2 full time jobs in Boston
it took a long time to recover from that financial beating

So..
when I hear that some 70 year old man who's worked his entire life
is buying a third home for $600K and that makes him somehow a FAT CAT
I have to look hard at the motivation of that viewpoint

I've worked with 35 year old corporate leaders that had Yachts that cost more than that
and that's not even getting into their private Jet and their multitude of homes

I think we might be focusing on the wrong thing here...

You aren't running for President on the kind of platform Bernie was.

You can try to make it irrelevant all you want but the premise of this thread is just as SPOT ON as one about a family values Christian Republican getting pinched for soliciting underage prostitutes.


Edit: and before you or anyone else gets in a tizzy about it... I could care less what Bernie Sanders does. Or anybody else for that matter. Just don't go on a national stage and make open criticisms of society and then behave in the same manner two months later

If it turns out that Bernie keeps his money offshore and/or doesn't pay his fair share of taxes or was gifted his house by a wealthy contributor then I'll agree that his actions don't match his talk. 600K isn't very much money anymore.

[houndawg]

$499k for 1,000 square feet is stupid. $499/sq ft. You can build for cheaper.

That's what we're doing...
The house will be finished in March 2017
We had to get in line to hire a builder - break ground in October
Problem is LOTs are rare and expensive and builders are MORE rare and more expensive

This ain't the Palouse

hey...there is a road to Stehekin now I hear...

He is able to contribute the additional amount!

I can travel 3 hours in any direction from St. Louis and the only thing worth noting would be that I ran over houndawg.
