[quote=outtamojo]”You got that right. In 5-10 years, when the decaying suburbs turn to squalor shanty towns and domestic insurgencies flare up in the south, talking heads on cable, if you still have it, will be saying how much better it is than in 2000.”

Gosh if this were my outlook on the future I would be busy fortifying my bunker in Montana rather than wasting my time on a San Diego real estate forum.[/quote]

Nah, that bunker mentality won’t help us out of this mess. Were all in it together. Given the confluence of macro forces coupled with our culture it sure could be a future. Make no mistake about it, we are at the beginning of the global economy crashing to smithereens and their is nothing anybody can do to stop it. What we can control is our actions afterwards and promote sane and humane solutions.
