“The Chinese government is requiring that 80 percent of the equipment for China’s first municipal power plant to use solar energy, to be built in Dunhuang in northwestern China next year, be made in China.”

This from the same government that threw a fit over similar proposals for U.S. steel products in the stimulus package.

This sounds like a job for HLS 🙂

I’m no expert but I’ve read that a short sale doesn’t keep you out of the mortgage game for nearly as long as a foreclosure … some sources say a minimum of two years. I doubt that’s been tested in practice, i.e. we’re not at the point where a substantial number of short sellers have reapplied for mortgages.

It’s nice to revisit some of these old threads just so we can see how deluded people were for how long.

The NYT article reminds me of my own hypothesis that no neighborhood can survive more than one bubble. In the course of my house-hunting and “neighborhood due diligence” I’ve noticed that tracts built around 1989-1991 haven’t “aged” nearly as well as similar tracts built a few years before or after that time. Same goes, to a lesser extent, for developments built right around 1979.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and suggestions 🙂

And I loved the “It’s a Wonderful Life” alternate ending!
