where do single guys live... ?

not that i expect any serious replies but i thought id post & get this off my chest. who knows maybe someone has some advice for me...

i currently live in a 2 bedroom duplex, surrounded by old people, and i hate it. since i live in a college town, 99% of the apartments are inhabited by college students. (not always a bad thing, but i do like peace & quite sometimes). id rather have a nice house in a normal family type neighborhood, where i can wash the car in the driveway, play some bball, go for a swim, etc... and i even have a vacant lot i purchased a long time ago, and would like to build on. but i have 2 problems, and they both stem from being single...

1. zoning restrictions for the neighborhood say i have to build a fairly large house. wtf am i gonna do with 4000 square feet?

2. i know several people in the neighborhood, and they have told me point blank that if i build & move in they will make my life a living hell. they say (and i quote) "a single man has no business living in a family neighborhood where there are children" .... aparently being a single male automatically makes me a pedophile or something??? legally of course they cant do shit to me since im NOT a freak, and i could probly make their lives just as much of a hell for harassing me, but i dont know if its worth the hassle just so i can build a house. i just wanna live in a nice neighborhood with neighbors who i can actually talk to, not wage war against... and, ive run into this attitude a lot, not just in this neighborhood, but in others i looked at... which is why im still renting a duplex on a street of retiree's... is this common?

soooo... i can buy another lot, or another house, or something but i really wanna live there. its gated, its secure, etc etc... i hate living in apartments and rentals, but it seems that as a single male im destined to live this way forever.

any other single guys that DONT live in apartments or rentals or whatever? if so do u have a big house? small one? what?

im really curious how my fellow single guys live i guess. *shrug*
