[cantab]

Here is a fascinating account written in 1995 of the early 90s housing bust:

The story is eerily similar to what is happening now, except the numbers were smaller then.

I had clients who sold their home in Vista 2 years ago and walked away with $100K which is more money then they’ve ever seen before. They moved to Lancaster?palmdale and I begged them to rent. For 2 months, I begged them to rent and told them it would be life changing if they would listen. They didnt listen. They send me messages now wishing they had. its a disaster up there.

I’m glad this subject came up; I always had the impression that Palmdale/Lancaster had a lot of crime – but I don’t understand why?

I drove through the area this summer; it seemed nice enough – much better than Mojave.

Defense jobs have returned I assume, what’s going on up there with crime. Or, maybe crime really isn’t that bad in those areas….?
