Now you are commiting random acts of sociology. You are reading way
too much into this.
The point Fred and I made was that Condos on the beach typically are
not year round residences for kids (look at my post below - it says
kids, not families. I never suggeted households without kids aren't
a family. I have no idea why you are throwing that in there).
Where are you getting all this stuff about gays and kids? I'm
saying not alot of kids will live year-round in those condos, having
nothing to do with the sexual orientation of their parents.
I'll say it again: Those condos will not attract many year-round
residents with kids. I'm willing to bet on it. I'll pay you $1 for
each unit that puts kids in the school system, and you pay me $1 for
each unit that doesn't.
