Even so, as I made the rounds through a few areas of town on Sunday looking for a new apartment, I kept muttering to myself, 4, 1982 Plenty of houses, but no buyers, no sellers. Thats the problem. Where does the money come from? Knowing that a large down payment would be needed along with monthly payments that could suck blood out of a turnip forced me to just keep on driving and wishing and hoping. Wishing that I wasnt a member of that growing group of younger Americans for whom the dream of home ownership is becoming hazier and hoping the economy doesnt deteriorate further and make it impossible to buy a house. For, even with burdensome and escalating property taxes, owning a home would sure beat the hell out of being a perpetual renter. stand the place anymore and then move on to someplace a little different. When it gets old, you move again. Naturally, this transiency doesnt setwhowell with homeowners, appreciate people who move in and stay put and whose stability is viewed as a resource to the community. So rental units are built in less desirable locations - like on fairly busy streets. That way, they can serve as a buffer between homeowners and street noise, making it easier for homeowners to sleep at night. -- Unless you happen to be one of those well-to-d- o renters who live in an expensive complex for the thrills of it all (while I know there are people who do, I dont know many of them personally), apartments are blaah. Or worse. You live there until you cant I understand - and accept -- the reasoning for placing rental units along larger streets and separating them from single family homes. Yet, its hard to swallow the and give renters in general a bad name. But for every deadbeat, theres a hardworking person (or young couple) who cant afford to own a home and is watching the prospects slip away. These thoughts filled my mind as I drove around looking for a place to live, looking in vain, as it turned out. All that was available within an acceptable price range were apartments on busy streets or in basements. Neither of those options were to my liking. But, then again, beggars cant be choosers. So Ill probably have to sacrifice my ideal ambitions for practical necessities in selecting a new, temporary home. Which means Ill have to avoid driving down those streets with For Sale signs on so many nice little houses that Id love to buy, but cant.,.. idea, frequently implied at Planning Commission meetings, where decisions are made on how many rental units will be built and where, that renters deserve their fate. As if renters, because they cannot afford to buy a home or choose not to for whatever reason, find it easier than homeowners to ignore street noise and fall asleep at night. As if renters, if they really wanted to, could pull themselves up by the bootstraps, get a good job that pays a lot of money, and buy a home on a quiet subdivision street and attain the accompanying respectability. That just aint the way it is. Not anymore. True, there are plenty of lowlifes out there who live like pigs s Foreign Language At Kearns High Enrollment Increase KEARNS.
