it is going to be just terrible, hopefully, but could be worse than terrible, tragically

the wastrels such as cb ilaine think that just because she can help wastrels default without consequence, that it would actually mean no consequence

a lot of learning will be

Hello Prosperous.. Don't think its region specific. I live in NW Florida and when I'm home I usually tour a 3 county area observing the housing situation (at some point I'll be a buyer).

I note similiar conditions. People have not recognized that homes are not going to sell for 4.5 x median income, are not even going to sell for 3 x median income. With a few exceptions, they are holding out... asking too much... expecting things to turn around.

The only difference is that there is no building going on now in this area

I do note that folks are finally beginning to feel... uneasy. They are beginning to sense that something isn't right.. and they have a few vague ideas what it might be... but nothing concret is forming in their minds yet as to the actual F%$#ed situation we are in.

When the realization does dawn... at last... upon these folks than the fur will fly...

Rgds
