Home and Auto Mansionmania Tournament: Round 2, Heat 13 - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 11-14-2021, 04:41 PM

Mansionmania continues with our 32 2nd-round contestants. You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:

The purchase price for you is $0.
All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, HOA fees, and cleaning is included.
You must live in the home for the rest of your life.
You can't travel more than 100 miles from home (via google maps drive time) other than 1 two-week vacation each year.
You get $250,000 per year as a living allowance
You get an additional living allowance at the cheaper home, which will be valued at 1% of any cost difference annually. I will note this amount in the poll.
You get the furnishings. If unfurnished, you get an allowance that will give you mid-grade furniture in every room.
You get any vehicles in the garage. But only the garage - nothing parked outside.

I encourage you to click on the maps in the listings to see the general location and neighborhood.

Also, I will only enter contestants if they have a sufficient number of photos to judge, as determined by me.

Your entries in this heat are:

Oregon

Can't believe I'm going to say this but...Cali.

Cool. At some point let's meet up for a wheatgrass smoothie and bean burger.

You're on used needle patrol and I'm on human poo patrol when we walk. We'll wear flip flops.

That's a nice way to put it........ I know where that house is. Been to Bend a couple of dozen times in the past 10 years. I will take the land and gut the house.

No kidding.

I'd be walking around with a couple pairs of the owners clothing, a trinket, and some ammo looking for a cashier thinking I was at a Cabela's.

I voted for both these houses in round 1 (providing there was carcass removal), but the Cali house wins in a landslide in my brain.

**PHOG** · 11-14-2021, 10:46 PM

California it is, lots of stuff to do within 100 miles, unlike Oregon.

oldman · 11-15-2021, 12:26 AM

The CA house is in Marin County, CA where I plan to settle (perhaps in this house) once I win the Powerball.

**TinyEvel** · 11-15-2021, 01:47 AM

California.

Oregon = too much horse stuff and that pool is inexcusably pathetic for a house/property of that size and price.

You might want to check into Oregon on the commie laws. They've gone very, very hard left in recent years.

Cali home easily for me. I really dig that house. Also, Russian River Brewing, and a lot of great wine country within that 100 mile range.
