"You get the picture, those who are investing in doing something worthwhile for themselves and the world have at least for the present gotten screwed due to this run-up in real estate"

Strange times indeed. Desperate times called for desperate measures perhaps? And this happened under complete control of the Republican party that is supposed to be about fiscal conservatism, free markets, probusiness and education. Don't you love when the president gets on the boob tube and preaches his ownership society, job creation and education mantras..

Meanwhile illegals from points south make a triple killing working in the booming construction trades, $100k/yr appreciation in their RE and avoiding paying taxes. Contrast that with the grad student that when he gets back out to real world will compete with 200 people for one job opening while living in his parents spare bedroom and waiting tables at night..
