Default Too costly

I would love to go on this house tour, but I can not. Why? Because of the $25 price tag. Money is tight, I'm having trouble paying my bills, gas prices are astronomical, can't afford to eat out anymore, unless it is the dollar menu at McDonald's.

When I lived in Plainfield, New Jersey, we had a house tour in one of the historic residential districts ... the fee was something like $8. If Powellton was charging $8, $10, or even $12 I would go. But not for $25.

You say but this includes 13 ... no, 14! ... houses. But who is going to visit all 14? Most people will pick out 5 or 6, maybe 7 houses to tour. It's a lot of shlepping to do.
