In most states, you get a good spread of houses, but in TX I think I'm picking 4 houses and all or nearly all are in one neighborhood in Houston. They're pretty different houses and are all gorgeous legitimate mansions, but they're all within a mile or two of each other. I'm torn between maintaining the system and putting them each up, or replacing at least one with a different property elsewhere in Texas. It's a pretty big state to have all of the candidates in one neighborhood. What do y'all think - stick with the most expensive or spread them out?

Spread them out.

Paid for ground makes money man.

Yeah, my memory is it was on right at 48K acres.

It's like 8 generations owned. First folks bought about 150 acres as homesteaders in the late 1800s and in/around the depression they started expanding. They first started angus breeding in the 1930s and now they're internationally known.

It's a hell of an outfit.

Plow into some of the crops and build a baseball diamond. Someone might make a movie about it one day.

By year 3 in that KS home I'd have to create some type of Squid Games death competition out of sheer boredom

Sharon Springs without a doubt. I love Western Kansas. Lease the land out and Pave a 4 mile road course for auto racing.

Use your stipend to fly in squads of homeless folk from across the country and shit.

If you can get it from a bank, it's better. USDA sucks.

Same ****s. FSA is under USDA. The FSA office you were in was probably a "USDA service center"

Yeah, River Oaks is the elites elite. I believe the Bush's reside or rather, resided there.

5M for that 90's era Delaware place seems steep. I like that it's waterfront there at least, and all the neighbors aren't coyotes and cornstalks. Like to know the reason the KS place is for sale two years after it was built, not that it matters. Not a fan of either of these places.

Worst properties of the series so far.

Yeah. Honestly, if you gave me the choice of my current house or that one, I'd stay in my current house. And it's not selling for $5+ million. I don't really like that setting.

jd1020 10-14-2021 04:41 PM

Is there any house that has won their heat so far that loses to either of these?

Bowser 10-14-2021 05:09 PM

Can we move the Lake Quivira D&D house to either of the Delaware or Kansas locations?

Pablo 10-14-2021 05:59 PM

Weak, weak round. But I love me some land and the idea of having nobody around me is fantastic. A bit too fantastic.

Delaware has to edge this one out because looking at the ocean is always awesome even if you have people all up your ass.
