Our house in California is about 2,800 sq ft on a small lot (about 8,000 sq ft). Our place in Montana is a bit of a monster...it's 5,800 sq ft with a former carriage house as a separate garage with a loft. It's on a good sized lot (close to half acre) in town and it's one of those grand old mansion-type places from the turn of last century that went into disrepair as neighborhoods changed. The last owner fully restored it and it's a bit intimidating to clean and heat, but there is nothing quite like a 1900s era house. Damn thing seems to have a soul (or it could just be the sound of the boiler).


Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.
