Wide Load

Ok what is the deal with moving a house. I'm talking about the huge tow truck, creeping along the road, taking up ever lane, in an attempt to move a house that has been taken off it's foundation. Is it possible that these people became so attached to this home that they felt the need to pull it up from the ground and put it in a new plot of land that they bought. Normally people move for two reasons:  1) they got a new job and have to move somewhere to be closer to the job, or 2) they feel they have to upgrade/downgrade to a bigger/smaller place. Seems to me that neither of these situations calls for someone to rip up the foundation and move an entire house. In the latter they need a different house altogether and in the former in order to warrant them moving for a new job it would be over a great distance such that moving an entire house would be impractical. So, I see one of these moving houses yesterday and the thing that really kills me is that the thing is trashed. The roof is caving in and the walls are coming down so they will have to fix it once it gets to wherever it is going. WTF I want to talk to these people who decide to move their house!
