Shern,Carissa Chapter 7, Chapter #6

I found the passage about the $500,000 Lincoln Park Brownstone versus paying $250,000 for the same house very interesting.  Shoppers are always looking for a deal, a similar situation happened to my cousin. When he was 16 he bought the cheapest car he could find from a buddy of his for like $500 then he spent the rest of his savings on a sound system, a week later the car broke down.  My aunt would not pay for a tow truck right away, when she finally did the sound system had been stolen and my cousin was stuck, now after reading this passage about the Brownstone houses, this situation makes even more sense.  That cheap car was not worth the metal it was made from, because everyone wants to leave a business deal with as much money as possible.  If that car had been a truly good deal there would have been a line of people trying to get that car but there was not a crowd of people, there was only my naïve cousin.
