My first thought was the potential practical benefits. Since you have to be on the secret service list to get into the neighborhood, this might be a great place to live if you had teens, but didn't want to be the hangout for all their friends and be eaten out of house and home...

1. Same goes for those with

crazy birther in-laws... Really, this would seem to be a great refuge against drop in visits of any sort. I presume their ratio of door to door sales is pretty low there as well...

2. Thanks, but I wouldn't want the Surpreme Court choosing my next neighbor.

Their record is terrible.

3. I dont know if I would want secret service watching me 24/7

Especially if I was rich.

4. wow well i can't afford it anyways

but living in chicago in an exclusive neighborhood, w/ or w/out the obama factor, would have to be a pretty fantastic life

if i could afford it, and if i could pass the secret service screen, got to admit that's a pretty cool thing to do
