"LAURAL do you know what it is like to work your butt off for minimum wage? Do you?" Oh contrare Whoops. I have not only worked for minimum wage but attended school at the same time. I also raised three children on a very limited income. If you read the posts below I stated quite clearly that it took me many years, MULTIPLE jobs and frugal spending to finally get to where I could buy my home and property. That is why I fully understand why these folks do NOT want renters in their neighborhood. They've had renters before with the same predictable outcome. I would be saying the same exact thing. Period. Next time do your homework before throwing accusations around.

"This feed is getting funnier and funnier"

LAURAL, You surely jest.

Why are Wheeling's underclasses so poor?

Answer: Some work very hard over 40 hours a week BUT they only get minimum wage. LAURAL do you know what it is like to work your butt off for minimum wage? Do you?

Getting only minimum wage can really set one back a few social notches.

You wouldn't know because you really worked hard, did you not?

This feed is getting funnier and funnier. Started out about renters and it has gone all over the place including the ramblings of a few loose screws. Good gravy.

Glad to see I'm no longer the most prejudice racist in the valley......I've been replaced....I'm thinking Obummer and the ACLU could find some "proper" people....too funny you snobbish fools..

WVU reading your posts is like getting a bad case of the flu and being confused. Good grief. I'll have to say that last rambling make me laugh out loud.

Wow! How sad!

There are some physicans in Wheeling who think that they can not achieve the American Dream.

One of them actually had a story printed in this very paper a few years back.He had that stated he could not live the American Dream and that he had to put his house in his wife's name.

Yes Dr. Maur*a, I think it was you.

Good, greedy doctors are so hard to find now a days.

PS -- The poor have all the money!

@LAURAL: I'm back, sorry if you've waited for my comments but I'm not rich and probably along your guidelines ignorant and possibly inbreed...That's OK, I forgive you for lashing out at me and our community, its healthy to experience mood swing, and depression but try your hardest to stay away from rage and please in the future you're going to have to put a cork in that whiskey bottle; It will make more sense once you sober up and possibly join a 12 step program. You should come to St. Michaels, we’ll invite a 2 sheets to the wind Mormon or even a 2 fifth a day Baptist and offer prayer and support, It’s exciting to speak with the new mothers and hear about a upcoming scheduled baptism, Back in the Day when the Sheriff would get caught dipping his comb in the holy water by the door to do his hair,

Father didn’t blowup or anything just empty, wipe clean, change-out and was providing comfort and thanking the congregation for coming. Ms. Daniels makes a great prayer leader and …oh, listen to me rambling on, come to Catholic Church, you can catch a ride with Karen ( I think she’s a double degree, you know, 2 doctors are better than one, and if you want a second opinion just ask her again)or maybe her brother and his family will attend Mass with you; he’s kind of weird if not kinda strange in a quizzical way but ….he’ll be with you (pea’s in a pod, or something like that , you’ll be fine).

Too many rules to prevent life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

$315,000 for the house and property, approx $100,000 to eventually tear it down, and $500,000 for the "dream house". Almost a million bucks and we are going to recoup some of that money by renting the house out?? That would take quite awhile wouldn't it?? And when a house deed says "single family only" that would mean what?? And when a family is limited to two cars per lot I guess there is a reason for that too?? Now we know why it's so expensive to stay at the Hampton Inn. Or maybe the next one will be in Walnut Woods....

Envy is a deadly sin my friends. And for my uneducated friends, internship is the first post doctorate year, residency is the next two and fellowship is for a specialty outside of family medicine. The point that has obviously gone over some heads is that these folks are indeed entitled to protect their neighborhoods from unsavory tennents. They have EARNED it. And WVU you sound like a scorned man who has a dangerous view of women. (Oscar Pistorius anyone?). You need to attend church. You can come to mine.......they accept everyone. And BTW my dad has been dead since I was a kid. My recent good fortune has resulted from YEARS of hard work, two jobs and sacrifice. Something it sounds like you are not too familiar with.......

so what ? a felon sometimes spends decades out of the income pool. They have to really hustle to make up lost progress. They didn't have the opportunity to do school, col, med. res etc. so what ? nobody forced anybody to get an education or debt.It is personal choice.

Declaration of Independenc ? has to do with what ? It is notice to King George gang . Lot of wordsmithing. Nothing to do with any contract with the American People. No way to do with rent.

@LAURAL: That's nice about your neighbor, though must have a hand-eye coordination problem doing the 3 year internship/and an added year fellowship... whg hospital?? But that's not relevant, how did you get there, marry rich, fulltime hooker, part-time...overtime?? Family money, did daddy striker rich? Tell us...so we can pray for your trespasses before it’s too late. Are you a kept woman? I’ve read about them. Wellwatched a show on TV “Hollywood Housewives” We have Mass starting in the morning less than 6 hours 4 1/2 really for proper dress and timely arrival.

justanotherview....."Snob Knob" huh? WOW! Unbelievable. Your envy is palpable. I know several of the residents of this neighborhood. Some of the kindest, hard-working folks I've ever met. For example one resident is a physician. Let me see....4 years of undergrad school, 4 years of med school, 3 years of internship/residency and 1 year of fellowship. And let's not forget 300K in debt when they are finally done. Work hours that are impossible to describe. So by the time they are 40+ and can afford to buy a house and property in an upscale neighborhood they suddenly become snobs. They want to protect their neighborhood and their property and they are snobs. That is a load of crap! These people take pride in their homes, properties, their neighborhood and each other. And it shows. It is a lovely place to live and they want to keep it that way!!!!!

What a bunch of arrogant idiots!Gotta love those people who think money should be able to buy immaterial things, like exclusiveness in the general public domain.Besides, I'm sure the owners of those properties are paying high enough taxes for their rentals on "snob knob". Guess it's beyond your realm of thinking that someone could own and live in a residence and not be a jerk (probably half of you are idiots to your own neighbors), only if they are a renter. Get over it and realize your not better than most of the people you think you are!

Is this story a joke?

Please say YES.

Wheeling can not be this "Traditionally Ignorant".

Please say it isn't so.

Great idea have Wheeling with the HOME RULE ability to pass a fee on renters to help with the maintenance of the area and help renters to keep up with the local 'snobs'.

@LAURAL: A wide angle and high area panning outdoor security camera would ease my sense of fair play. If you’re not hiding anything it shouldn't be an issue. Plus it could also be helpful for the areas tourist industry as recorded Sasquatch sightings evidence would be a tourist industry game changer for the Valley. Don’t you want to help our community?? Are you a ”Taker” and not a helper LAURAL?

What are they hiding up there in that back hollow?? Can't be anything upscale, moral, good or legal; going to have to have the Local Sheriff’s Department take a long good look into this. "Crime does not pay" and I'll be dam*ed if we should let it happen under our noses at the expense of the neighboring youth of our communities. Just another Den of Evil and Sanitary for Evil Doers.” REPENT and come into the Light of Truth and Honor”!!

And BTW psylocke I DID buy a house on some acreage out of town. I LIKE my privacy. I know ALL of my neighbors. I worked very hard and had to wait several years to get this home...but I sacrificed and did it. Then you get people who want to call you an elitist or a snob because you want to maintain the integrity of that neighborhood?? Thats garbage. Your slip is showing psylocke.

Psylocke...I know exactly what I am talking about. Renters have no vested interest in the home/apartments that they rent. I've lived next to them for years and watched it over and over again. Landlords rent out homes or apartments as an investment. They realize there will be some collateral damage and they account for that. Bottom line is they want the rent money and they don't care if the tennents bother the neighbors or not. And as far as your privacy....you are RENTING a place to live. Your landlord has access to your home and you are limited to the neighbors you have. These folks pay quite a lot of money to build their homes where they are and they spend quite a bit of money to live where they live. Instead of wasting your money on rent psylocke you might want to consider buying......just a thought.
