Participantbsrsharma,
Fabulous post. I love “The Jungle”, have read it several times and find it equally heart wrenching every time I read it.
I recently read a book called “The Worst Hard Time”, a true story about the Dust Bowl. It has references to the sales brochures that were used to entice people to buy land in the new developments, complete with drawings of cute little towns, shaded by big shade trees, when if reality they were selling barren parcels of land without a tree in site.August 25, 2007 at 9:17 PM #81099citydweller

ParticipantOne of my favorite books…Thanks for reminding me of the home the poor people bought. It is very apropos! I can’t stop remembering about the sausages and how the milk was blue and death to the children that drank it. Horrible and awesome book. Sort of like manufacturing in China right now! (Seriously – there are a lot of similarities!)

ParticipantI agree that the “world” at least the mortgage banking part is different…all funded by paper money at losses to investors, including foreign governments. That money is lost and that kind of funding is going to dry up. The jobs that orbited around that money are evaporating. Home price trend right now are not correcting up…they are in decline.

ParticipantI wonder if this Nautilus property is one of the homes that had homes above them come sliding down. It was a mess up there a couple years ago.
