The more homes that have been sold, the more opportunity for hypocritical hate-filled Republican-hating Republican-haters to hypocritically move in to hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. I should write a book about such hypocritical hate-filled Republican-hating hypocritical home buyers in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)
