While this way of doing things is part of our culture, ..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At Monterey, we are still in the process of pricing new homes, but we have decided that some sort of "location adjustment" will be part of it. And a big part of the argument for this is that the "more desirable" locations (and, because of the site, every house is different, more or less) will sell for more. Reality says that we won't all stay forever - and we have no limited equity provision. So, without an adjustment, are we saying, these are all equally valuable, but some people get to sell theirs for more? So, it seems fair to me to have some acknowledgement of the differences in sites - not necessarily a lot - I can't remember, but the earlier proposal was something like 5% (of what? i'm not sure). I think it is always hard to decide where we ignore the outside values/norms, and where we follow them. We are idealists, but to varying degrees, in my experience.
