Your lifestyle sounds a lot like ours. Our taxes are higher (thanks, Michigan), our house is a two-story on 2.2 acres, and we have more wildlife than we want to sometimes. The rabbits chase the deer and get gently shooed-off now and then.

We’re trying to get our property to the “woodsy” stage, but that means undoing a lot of damage the state DNR did in the 70’s. They planted a bunch of autumn olives to “improve the habitat,” and now our section of the state is overrun with them. They’re choking out native trees so we’re putting them back.

NYC is a nice place to visit (I was there on 9/9/01) but there’s no way I’d ever live there. All that concrete makes me claustrophobic.

The rabbits chase the deer

That's a new one on me. Are these Jimmy Carter-style Super-Rabbits?

Even our 70s trailer park home has a serviceable laundry room (and a bird feeder outside the kitchen window).
