Freudian slip

not like anyone of us have ever had one of those.....

I realized that poop worked perfectly well in context, but though perhaps popping up was more likely.

Here there is no empty land to build on. People buy houses and ripe them down for the land.

That is certainly more-or-less the case in the East, Nyboy. Here it is far less often done although run-down country homes are more likely to be torn down and replaced than repaired.

Land is also sold by the foot not acre. A lot is so many feet by so many feet.

SF Bay area too. Lots are sold by the sq ft. Homes are bought for $800K or more, torn down, rebuilt and sold for $2Mil

Didn't realize it had come to that. I knew it was sold by the foot in Hawaii.

I was working in a Deli when lunch meats were first sold by the ounce rather than the pound. Lots of angry customers when they realized their 'great deal' was more expensive than the other stores.

Then carpeting started being sold by the square foot rather than the square foot. Stands to reason where land is scarce it would be priced differently. We can still buy country acres for building.

Nope, major. A mistake pure and simple. Should'a proof-read.
