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.

A small tent city is visible from the VRE train, north of Fredricksburg and south of DC. Look for it, you'll see it.
ReplyDeleteAre all tents blue or is it every single shot of a "tent city" is the same single tent city in the US? Sorta like everytime you see footage on terrorists, its the same stupid footage from the 70s of some dude with a ninja mask jumping over hurdles with an M16.
ReplyDeleteWhy dont these tent city people rent like I do? I am "homeless" as well, but I rent.
Because they're "broke".
ReplyDeleteWhere are the city planners and health code enforcers?
ReplyDeleteImmigrants have been camping out in California for decades, just to save on rent, and they're allowed to stay forever and degrade the environment and decrease property values for homeowners.
If we're not enforcing codes we are the same as Mexico. Our lack of disease and protections (such as they are) are hard-won, if we decline to enforce them out of sympathy we are just another third-world country...
He doesn't "choose" to be homeless, but he won't ask his five grown (and apparently NOT homeless) kids for help?
ReplyDeleteGive me a break.
