Maybe they are lazy or other priorities? I see plenty of Asians with homes in disrepair, that is because they are busy shuttling kids to activities, have demanding jobs and just no time to work on the house (even outsourcing takes time to work through different contractor bids)[/quote]

Asian homes in my UMC hood ALWAYS look nasty....zero yard maintenance....and don't even think about landscaping...what the hill is that?  They are just too cheap to spend $$ on what is expected to be a [b]norm within the community[/b].[/quote]

Norm set by who exactly? Those who bought $$$$ new construction homes or demolished older homes to build custom?  I live in an area that was always considered affluent, but older homes got eventually replaced with huge super expensive homes and people with a different level of wealth moved in.  Does it mean I have to keep up with this new crop of Joneses?  I can't easily cough up 100K to redesign my landscaping to their standards.  [/quote]

True, for us, we have almost 100K in the bank right now earmarked for a kitchen renovation, but it is such a daunting task for us with two demanding jobs and two very active kids. Figuring out the kitchen layout, design, contractors and the disruption that will cause to our life. We both work from home, so its even more difficult. [/quote]
