Yeah, but Wall Street and Uncle Sam are concentrated on the East Coast. Makes for a nice battle of the titans, no? <<gg>>

"You do realize, of course, that CA along with NJ and a few others are the "giving" states, the states that generate so much wealth they have to pay for the poor hapless red states and other government dominated states that generate no wealth whatsoever?" Yet Republicans get labeled as the party of the rich even though it isn't the true base. Those very well off that are mostly based in coastal blue states certainly don't help candidates get the votes needed to win on the national scale and allow all the pork in DC to continue mushrooming

Lizzie, in an effort to close a house sale, this person paid for the prospective buyer's rental cars, apt, and hotel rooms... Is the Bay Area real estate market really that weak already? "According to prosecutors, the couple went to the Sunnyvale man's open house and told him they would buy the $879,000 home for cash as soon as they sold their $3 million home in Los Altos. The deal didn't close -- Balestrieri allegedly said a messy divorce was gumming up the process -- and the man started to give the couple cash and pay for hotel rooms, rental cars and an apartment in an effort to keep the deal alive, according to prosecutors." mercurynews.com
