This whole real estate does affect us much more than the atrocities occurring in other countries. Many of us were not interested in risking it all on liar loans to get our foot in the door and “buy” a house. Though many of us would like to own, it was obvious that purchasing w/those type of loans did not make sense to many of us.
The tax burden from the whole banking crisis will also affect us. All of it is personal when you look at it that way.
