The senior senator from New York seems to pay a lot of attention to California-based financial institutions like IndyMac and Countrywide. Meanwhile he backs the bailout of New York’s Bear Stearns, and urges deregulation of, and unwavering support for, Fannie Mae, the Democratic sacred cow.

I’m no fan of the current administration, but Schumer’s actions are starting to look a little bit odd to me.

A little too little, a little too late

As Pat Benatar might sing to Bear Stearns and the rest of the MBS-CDO crowd:

I hear you had a good offer
down on Third Avenue
You tell me that was the reason
For whatcha’ put me through, Yeah
And now you come collapsin’ back
I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back
I’m givin’ you the sack
So don’t waste your time

It’s a Little Too Little
It’s a Little Too Late
I’m a Little Too Hurt
And there’s nothin’ left that I’ve gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there’s only so much I can take
Ah, it’s a Little Too Little
It’s a Little Too Late

Are you sure you’ll have the cash flow to handle association dues, maintenance, taxes, special assessments, and so on? If so I think you might be able to make the case for buying.

I think the condo market has a way to go before hitting rock bottom, but even so I’d imagine it would recover within a five-year time frame. And there’s always the risk that inflation will eat up whatever investment return you can get on $200K over five years.

Plus it would really suck to move in the middle of grad school. Spoken from the POV of someone who gave up after losing all his thesis notes.

As others have mentioned, there’s not much in that part of town in your price range. Investigate your transportation options carefully — parking isn’t so great, the trolley doesn’t go there, and the nearest Coaster station is a 20-minute shuttle ride away.

Yeah, it really, really stinks to deal with financially dysfunctional family members. Bu there are two possibilities to consider:

1. Someday you may need their help.

2. A timely loan/gift could keep them in their house, and off your living room sleeper sofa.
