Elroy,re:"inflated homes prices". It's a WIN,WIN,WIN
situation. Whoever has a hand on it got some fees, tax.
Before they close out the pothole, most homeowners should
(along with help of the 'mortgate banker, appraiser...'
cash out and leave the house.

Some of the houses take the US manufacturer's tactic:
MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) and takes a
discount and market as:" reduced 100K' (the house was
600k+). Things are getting real interesting.

This is a 'violent society'. The deserving stars'
compensation and reward, the price of some RE (not all) and
some city/state are samples of the kind of 'violent' the
society being built-in. Violence always ends BAD.
The 'little guys' bore the brutal blunt of the hits, as they
should, according the standard procedure of some big US
corporation, as they should since co's is not gov entities,
they don't give hand out. Well, actually they do 'hand out',
just the target is different. The hand out go to the very
top.

Of course, this is a 'class war', pretending there is no
such thing is denial and 'building up the war'. Smart mouth
may get away for a tenure/term, the eventual cost to
society will be felt by someone nobody cares (rightly so
since they don't exist yet). I saw the 'fiscal child abused'
term on the newspaper. The writer is restraining not to
say 'fiscal terrorism'.

The rebate was meant to be a one year transition when the goods and services tax (GST - valued added tax) came in as the tax applies to new houses. But then it got extended.... It meant that people didn't need to even save for a downpayment in some cases as the government gave it to them.
