This surely sounds like a stupid question, but I do not know where the Riverdale Center parking lot…Read More is. Can someone send an address to avgenteel@aol.com?

@Francine Where in the City of Hyattsville is that? Most of the streets have been repaved, new…Read More sidewalks installed and from what I've seen a very responsive DPW. I'm thinking you are not in the City of Hyattsville.

"heat" maps, while fun, don't work in all places. In this case, you need to make the…Read More color more transparent. Also, the blob of color on one house overlaps several so it's not that accurate from what I can tell. Something like this has less to do with the area and more to do with the actual house and what the person is asking for it. If I'd ask a million for my house and it sells for $100k, then I'm way in the red.

I've gone in and added a transparency layer to the map, so it should be easier to orient oneself on…Read More the map.
And this heat mapping program doesn't merely assign a blob of color to a particular point on a map. It averages the values behind the blob with other values nearby to produce the coloration seen on the map. While it is an average–susceptible to outlier skewing–it does a fairly good job of showing which neighborhoods had a particularly tough or easy time making their list price.
Areas with the brightest green tended to have a number of houses which sold well above list price, areas with bright red tended to have the vast majority of houses sell well below their list price.
Further, it's not like the list price is set in a vacuum. There can be very real consequences to setting an outlandish list price (house languishing on market, etc). Thus, the seller has an interest in providing a realistic valuation of their house.

ASTEROIDS, COMETS, AND METEORS ORIGINATED FROM EARTH: In the Earth's past there were powerful…Read More volcanic explosions propelling millions of tons of earth soil and rock (now asteroids and meteors which may contain organic molecules or organisms) into space. Read my popular Internet article, ANY LIFE ON MARS CAME FROM EARTH. The article explains how millions of tons of Earth soil may exist on Mars, and how debris we call asteroids and meteors could have originated from Earth. According to a Newsweek article of September 21, 1998, p. 12 that quotes a NASA scientist, SEVEN MILLION tons of Earth soil may exist on Mars! How could this be possible? Read and find out.
Even if the right chemicals exist, life cannot arise by chance. The molecules that make-up life have to be in a sequence, just like the letters found in a sentence. Please read my popular Internet articles listed below:

As the editor of this site, rest assured that I absolutely flabberghasted that I did not catch that…Read More error before the article went live. I will be drumming the difference between astronomical and astrological into Mr. Gross' head. The error has been corrected.
As for Mr. Ranganathan: chill out, the adults have some astronomical phenomena to look at.

Throw in a sick 4 year-old and it's one heck of a Tuesday in Hyattsville.

Yeah. It also needs the sounds of a scampering kitten bounding across hardwood floors.

It's almost as if you were trying to hypnotize us, Michael! The bus sound really makes this great...

Who knew adding sidewalks was such a contentious topic. I'm currently searching for a house and…Read More sidewalks are a must. I would never buy a house in an area without sidewalks, those communities are immediately crossed off my list. I do not want my kids or myself walking in the street with crazy drivers. Sidewalks seem to be a public safety issue.
