re: "You are saying that the appreciation is real estate is entirely due to the threshold on home sale capital gains passed during the Clinton administration (Republican congress?)."

No, not at all.


Then why do you keep calling it the Clinton real estate bubble?

re: I wouldn't give credit to Clinton either. He just gave a $500k tax free gain that sent people in droves to FL.

"Droves" of people were going to FL regardless... warm weather, retiring boomers, no state income tax.

re: Not really promoting home ownership unless you consider speculation on multiple homes as home ownership.

Florida invented land speculation... look at the early 20's, the stories are hysterical.

re: I'm in St. Pete now.

Visiting or to live?
