Think about it.

100% correct in that man - it's ambiance and emotion folks base their purchasing decisions on. Give folks an evironment that is kinda special and they love it. It's the same when it comes to investment in land - they see all the nice furry critters with human attributes and dump $500K on the table - always amazes me
This was so damned bad, I pulled the reigns in on some folks where it was blatantly clear they were gushing with emotion more than sense, and cut down their investment level. Although it's nice to have investors - its not really in their best interests sometimes. Got one couple last week who wanted to invest up to the hilt of their asset value. Why? Because they like diving and swimming with dolphins in a clear warm ocean - ie the dolphins were cute
No thanks - cut the investment down, - no need for that level.
Won't laugh at shareholders, but hell, they can be funny as hell. One woman (a well-known jazz singer), nicknamed her "The Monkey Lady" who never did anything but chat with the monkeys. Fine, but when ya got to get a search party out at 10 at night and start roaming the rainforest trying to find her, and on the verge of pulling in the police for help - that gets boring
We found her in the end - time mean't nothing to her - she was still chatting with the monkeys in the dark of course. People!! They gotta be saved from themselves sometimes
