Another contradiction. So, you've always liked where you lived unless you didn't so then you moved????

Somebody moved in next door with a poodle, and he could smell it, so moved.
Exactly!! As I clearly stated the fact I have always been lucky with where I have lived but if/when dynamics of the area often in close proximity of my humble detached property changed, EG dog owners, smokers and/or igornant people moved in, we moved. It's happened once and we moved after 4 years insead of the average 6 years.
I've found that those that live in smelly homes are nose blind and blinding those that point it out to them re their stench and at times people stop visiting them.
FFS - why live in a property with dogs and have carpers FFS, its a recipe for a massive stench. That stench then works into the owner's clothing etc, very disgusting indeed.
We move if we have to and are lucky that we can. The property we live in atm has massive front and rear gardens so if someone else was to move in and had dog/s and as bad and/or smoked, we may get away with it. Btw, they should ban people from smoking outside as their smell goes into other people and their property.
There is a way of looking after a dog - have a massive house, have marble flooring with heating under the tiles, wash the dog daily, groom it daily and keep the dog outside the house at night time build the dog their own property. People should also be banned for having more than one dog as often most find it hard enough to look after one of them
We would not own a dog as we could never dedicate the time to the nice dog unless we were very rich and lived in a massive mansion and had a fT person looking after the dog.
Some people put up with smells as often they dont know they smell but not for me, us

LOL. Yeah, let's see how far that idea goes.
So you'd ban 95% + of the population from owning a dog?
Are there any smells that you and your husband may be nose blind to that may make others wretch?

I couldn't live in a touristy place, sea side towns and the such like, most seem so run down, Kent,East Sussex and Essex seem worst.
My street has a variety of house styles, there or four of one style, then three or four of another. The style directly across the road, is back to front, when compared to mine. They have their hall and stairs along the width of the front, with lounge at the rear, facing the rear garden and their utility room filling in the remainder of the plot width, with a narrow passage allowing room to get things to the back garden. Very limited drive, with no chance to have a garage and not possible to get anything wider than the door frame through to the back garden.

Are you familiar with term "rimming"?
Well, the Sister in Law always wanted to live in a particular village. They bought a house in literally the furthest street from the centre of this village, right on the outside. It annoys them when I call them 'The rimmers'.
Please try to walk before you can run and don't assume you could not tolerate livng next to us. The fact is you
could not afford it and that is a fact. We too could not afford it now unless we sold another property of ours as prices shot up and we got it really cheap at an auction as people thought there was a problem with the foundation but it was historical plus they wanted a 14 day completion and we were ready to go.
Even if you could afford it as you gamble on the lottery, we'd move if something like you came along, dog or no dog.
Most likely you'd not know that until his experiment worked.
