The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

Pretty humorous. Kind of ironic that O'Toole's delivery is verbal equivalent of ALL CAPS!!
ReplyDeleteThe idea that this guy purports to be an academic, and has just discovered that such concepts as "zoning" and "eminent domain" exist.
Finally, the idea that there's a Cato University is even funnier.
Wow, a bunch of anecdotes about how poor developers aren't able to rape their own land.
ReplyDeleteBuy property in Las Vegas if you want unchecked growth.
Wait untill this guy discovers the impact and complexities of water rights on land. His eyes will pop out of head!
Im glad Im a renter. You dont have freedoms when you own, and people make fun of you when you think thats wrong.
