Real Estate with Google Maps and Streetview

I use Google Maps a lot being a real estate agent in Denton County, so I have noticed this for quite a while — Has the Google Car gotten lost trying to find Highland Village, TX?

Now it is my tun to break down the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. I must admit, when the bill was being negotiated in the Senate, before moving forward to the House of Representatives I was following it very close, in attempt to report the results in a timely manner.
