all this house hunting has got me reflecting a bit on parents–and finding homes for their children. I hope we made the right choice moving to Brooklyn. Shortly after I was born in Los Angeles, Ca. My parents used their savings to buy a home in Cerritos, Ca.
Even though I bashed Cerritos earlier for being a place nobody knew about it really was a great place to grow up. Sure it was suburban and things closed by 9, but it was safe, had great parks, schools, and youth athletic leagues, not to mention the WORLD’s GREATEST PUBLIC LIBRARY.
If you dont believe me click around on that link or go by. sick!
Anyhow, my parents made a great decision. In the years since they bought the house, the value of the home has increased almost 10-fold. I’m not sure if it was just luck, coincidence, or a really well thought out decision, but im grateful for it.
