[quote=surveyor][quote=briansd1]Surveyor, my use of the word usury relates to some people’s revulsion to excessive profit and gain without any work obtained though greed and avarice.
I thought that you were a student of Christianity.
The subject was greedy sellers asking ridiculous prices.[/quote]
Seriously, you’re bringing religion into this? I shudder to ask what that has to do with usury (the proper definition of it, as opposed to the one that you’ve made up).
And btw I mentioned I was a student of history not christianity. Again, stop making stuff up.[/quote]
As a student of history, you may enjoy reading about the concept and history of usury.
The history of interest (especially as it relates to work and labor) and banking in the Western World is fascinating as well.
On the subject of real estate, I can certainly understand the disgust one might feel at the perceived excessive profits made in the flipping of shelter.
Certainly, the market prices are what they are; and sellers will get the maximum they can, just because they can. But I can sympathize with people who feel that prices are driven by greed, avarice and manipulation (on the part of sellers, banks, government, etc..)
