Do you really want to be at the mercy of the city and pay for the water they put chemicals in that you don't want or having a pay toilet weather or not you use it?That's kind of what i'm looking for...something just outside of down but still get city water/sewer/gas. Don't want to deal with septic tanks/wells/propane tanks/etc.
Plus it would be awesome if i could have 10-20 acres to ride my toys around on.
What's really weird is that i spent most of my time growing up in Los Angeles but have always wanted a house with some land and a workshop. I'm a bit country at heart.
