Home and Auto Mansionmania Tournament: Round 1, Heat 9

I really like both of those properties - both are beautiful and I like both homes quite a bit.

Going Kentucky though for a few reasons:

A) While not enormous, there is a stipend difference that will add up over time.

B) Raw acreage - no replacement for displacement, lads...

C) Location/access - the Kentucky home gives you access to Lexington and Louisville (college towns are great) not to mention Cincinnati which is home to both an AFC football team AND a National League baseball team so I can get my sports fixes and occasionally see the Cardinals/Chiefs in person without burning precious vacation weeks.

EDIT: I airmailed the ocean access in NH, but man, the North Atlantic is less 'ocean access' and more 'really F'ing cold waves access'. Apart from the views, I'm not sure what there is to really enjoy about going to a beach in New Hampshire. I'm probably wrong, though...
