I have no problem with you sticking it to jerks like Swann. But trolling for slogans like those strike me as pointless and frankly, mean.
Be gracious man, hubris doesn't become you or HP. (It drips off the Bush, Gonzales, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove ....get my point.)
And hookers are human trafficing i.e. a tragedy, not a way to make a point...
Hopefully Florida taxes will follow prices DOWN.
'Drop like a rock'
quoting Gov. Charlie Crist well-used catchphrase referring to his talks about his way to cut the people's property taxes as much as the people want their property taxes cut.

Washington DC: Peak government--2009?

Wash DC. Anyone want my condo? Anyone? Anyone?
NOT funny.
My brilliant home project Bro-in-law got the idea that the DC housing market was going to go up forever. And that if his early 20s kids did not buy a house really fast that they would be shut out of the market forever.
Sooooo... now his 21yo daughter who has a fresh English degree now owns a DC condo which was bought at the very top month of the DC RE boom in early 2006. Hope she didn't follow her dad's advice to get a 40 year mortgage. Actually, I don't think she has the foggiest idea that she has been royally screwed.
OUCH!
NAR's chief economist, David Lereah said the fall in investment buying was expected. "Speculators left the market in 2006, which caused investment sales to fall much faster than the primary market."
Gotta love it! Crack-smoking monkeys getting quoted in the press.
Oh, sorry... I apologize. I didn't mean to insult crack-smokers nor monkeys.

How the hell does a 21 year old fresh out of college get the money for a house? I mean, I have heard that they were giving loans out to anyone, but that is a bit over the line.

Don't worry. From May 2-4 the Robert Kiyosaki crew will be coming to Portland, Oregon to put on his seminar on how to "Learn to Be Rich".
The method is to keep buying properties... and their books. Of course, Robert Kiyosaki of the "buy everything in sight" mentality won't be there in person.

Collapse of the real estate bubble hits Copenhagen
Copenhagen: Every Hour the Apartments lose $20 in Value
April 30 (EIRNS)—The Danish housing bubble is beginning to seriously deflate. Danish home owners, who have seen continuously rising prices in real estate over the last years are now seeing the opposite: Housing prices are falling by the hour.
The big Copenhagen daily Berlingske Tidende reported on April 28, that the recently released figures for real estate sales for the first quarter of 2007, compared with the prices of just three months earlier, show a fall in the prices of apartments in the Danish capital of between 4.4 and 12.1 percent. Worst hit are new apartments being built in the South East of Copenhagen, which in three months have seen falling prices of 12.1 percent (equivalent to a yearly fall of 40 percent). In the bigger area of Noerrebro, prices have fallen 10.3 percent (equivalent to a yearly fall of 35 percent). A 75 square meter apartment, which 3 months ago cost 2.5 million Danish crowns, can now be had for 2.1 million crowns. The paper notes in its headline, that that means a fall of 112 Danish crowns ($20) an hour.
Berlingske Tidende reports that smaller apartments are falling fastest in price, since the pattern of parents buying apartments in order to rent them out to their kids while they study (the students' only chance of having an apartment they can afford) has stopped. At the same time as the real estate prices are beginning to drop there are several other ominous signs for those planning to leave the bubble and sell real estate in Copenhagen and other parts of Denmark. The amount of housing for sale has more than doubled compared to a year ago, and stands at 60,000. At the same time new apartment are being added to the market, as apartment projects in the Copenhagen area are being finished, which were started in the last couple of years with a steaming hot real estate market.
Washington, District of Criminals - Plenty of luxury condos and prostitutes for ALL the con-men Amerika can elect!
Scottsdale - Get your house and bimbos for half-off!
Las Wages - We don't need the mafia anymore, we've got RE professionals now!
Kalifornia - Buy now before the next BIG shake! Who nows how long this insane culture can justify mortgage company write-offs...
NYC Tri-State region - We're immune to RE corrections, that is until they start the lay-offs on Wall Street...
FMW, if I could I would cut your property taxes, but everyone else in Florida needs a-shearin'. Here is a song I found just for the FBs.
Lloyd - New South Wales Lyrics
NEW SOUTH WALES
Here we are in New South Wales
Shearing sheep as big as whales, with
Leather necks and jaggy tails
And hides as tough as rusty nails.
When shearing comes, lay down your drums
Step to the boards you brand-new chums
With the rattum-rattum-rub-a-dub-dub
We'll send you back on the lime juice tub.
The brand new chums and cappy sons
Fancy they're the greatest guns.
Fancy they can shear the wool
But the beggars can only tear and pull.
Though you live beyond your means
Your daughters wear no crinolines;
Nor are they bothered by boots or shoes
But live wild in the bush with the kangaroos.
Oh it's home I'd like to be
Far from the bush and back country
Sixteen thousand miles I've come
To spend my life as a shearing bum.
Recorded by A.L. Lloyd, Clancys

to anonymous regarding your comment about R K. you have read his books he states that he looks at least 100 properties before making one or no offers. We both are waiting until the market hits the bottom and then look for all of the bargains to purchase

all the racism on this site really sucks. Yes, I know we are all bitter about how the market has been manipulates, how we've been screwed out of the ability to buy a house at a reasonable price, but I don't see how you can blame it on a bunch of poor illegal immigrants, or any other ethnic group. That is just lame scapegoating. It wasn't a Mexican who set the interest rates, who gave out liar's loans like candy. The people I know who were flipping were greedy white people, and they probably hired and profited from cheap illegal labor, like a bunch of other rich white people. There are a bunch of old white people around here in LA who thought they needed to buy up a bunch of houses so they could be the new ruling class, and now they can worry about paying the mortgages when no one can afford to rent the shit boxes. And all the sexism sucks too. No decent man calculates his relationships in terms of money, and no decent woman does either. So if you attract a mate like that you probably deserve to be treated that way, it reflects your own values.
Our society has been all about money, and this is where that kind of thinking has led us. Go ahead and blame it on minorities and women if it makes you better, but it won't fix anything.
Cry me a river!
