How someone can live in there to save a hundred bucks a month on a mortgage payment is beyond me.

I thought of that very thing when I was visiting Vimy Ridge in France. There is a care takers house not far from the monument, and I couldn't help but think that the person living there couldn't be superstitious in the least. Considering how many tens of thousands of lives were lost in such a small area over the course of the War.
Not to mention a lot of other places in Europe where thousands were killed in conflicts through out history.
