I don't believe gated communities are necessarily a good idea, but nonetheless, take a look at this Umiya Mataji Mandir in Macon, Georgia (a city which has nearly no Indians and has a relatively high poverty rate relative to Atlanta) and the "Umiya Circle" gated community next to it along with the nearby Indian restaurant. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Umiya+Mataji+Mandir+Macon+Ga/@32.8022154,-83.731392,128a,34.3y,234.91h,86.09t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sQ1O5vwmLFLqWwWxxQXtPwQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D3.9084687949673196%26panoid%3DQ1O5vwmLFLqWwWxxQXtPwQ%26yaw%3D234.91382876634145!7i16384!8i8192!4m6!3m5!1s0x88f3fa45ed2766f1:0xc2a2245f05a88155!8m2!3d32.8019943!4d-83.7300186!16s%2Fg%2F1tz76tkv!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDkwMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Taking a well earned break now.

New footage from surveillance cameras shows a Mercedes G-Class, driven by Turek, passing a line of cars in the far right lane, swerve sharply to the right, and crash into an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and a siren, causing the emergency vehicle to overturn.

Aggressive driving, which is different from road rage (the latter is a criminal offense), includes behaviors such as speeding, tailgating, blocking other drivers, swearing at or making obscene gestures at other motorists, horn honking, flashing one’s lights, driving off the road, running stop signs and red lights, and yelling at other drivers. Beyond causing distress to their passengers and others on the road, aggressive drivers pose a significant safety hazard. Specifically, approximately 50% of driving fatalities are linked to aggressive driving.

I think the days of serious house price growth are over for the moment... unless something dramatic happens to assist with economic growth, stabilise world events and push UK growth.

...there are still some interesting descriptions such as "a compact home" usually meaning tiny or "ideal as a pied-a-terre" also meaning minute. "Ideal for DIYers" probably means requires complete modernisation or almost falling down. Original features can mean old-fashioned, and close to all amenities might mean that it is situated above a train/tube station, in a busy road with a bus stop outside.

These days there is little gazumping as...the market is in the buyer's favour, but occasionally, if a property comes to the market at a very realistic price, we may see more than one buyer trying to outmanoeuvre the other, or we might take the property to best bids and see where the price goes.

The type of property I'm seeing more demand for is... well-insulated smaller homes where costs can be controlled. There is less demand for older blocks of flats which can be draughty and need considerable heating, as well as expensive repairs and high service charges.
