The building of the house was a promotion--"Let's see how wonderful a house we can build"--definitely something to dream on.

How can someone win any "Dream House" and expect to live in it? It will very likely be in a location that wouldn't work for the winner.

I don't rag on HGTV for this--it's fun to watch it happen, and is an "Idea House" for viewers.

I do hope they offer some tax help to any winners, though, so they don't end up harming themselves financially.

LOL! By coincidence, I'm thinking of moving to Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. Its one of the best kept secrets in the country. Homes with stunning views priced absurdly low. That's sending a horde of Floridians up there in search of a summer retreat. And North Carolinians are cursing Floridians who drive too fast up the mountain roads. And of course, there are all those damned Yankees from up North moving into Asheville, which has acquired the now notorious reputation of the "Berkeley Of The South." America is discovering the breathtaking beauty of the South. Its hard to say y'all Floridians and Yankees stay away! Its still growing... the Carolinas and other parts of Dixie.

I don't think anyone ever said the "average" person could afford to live there.
