August 17, 2007 at 5:42 PM in reply to: Are we gonna experience the same Japanese Housing Burst at 1991? #77264ParticipantTry buying an American made toaster…clock radio…coffeemaker…disposall…
GFL. BTDT, got the headache.
There’s two or three American companies still making shoes. A handful making clothes, but most are very limited production as samples.
In my business, Micron is slashing production in American factories and sending virtually all of the work elsewhere.
I’m coming to believe that the only viable export left in this country is education. I just finished up a masters and there were ~10% domestic grad students in my department. The majority of the foreign students don’t want to stay here, they just want the paper that differentiates them from others where they’re from.
It’s pretty bad…

Participant95 margaux…mmmmm those were the days…
Actually, a good Belgian beer seems to go best with beefaroni. I recommend Kasteel Tripel – clear, crisp and strong. Delightful.
Oh, and the biggest bottle of Tabasco Green you can find.

ParticipantWhile I think that it’s unlikely that we’ll see big price declines in that area to historical levels, it’s possible that some other areas will have bigger swings.
One of the big drivers at HB is the gentrification that’s occurred over the last handful of years. Twenty years ago, HB had plenty of ding-dongs that gave the area a war zone feeling. (Henry Rollins did a great job of documenting this in one of his books, I can’t remember which) For whatever reason, you just don’t see those kooks very much anymore and the place feels much safer. Lots of families and a smaller group of retirees live nearest the beach nowadays. So, I think that the fundamental price support is at a higher level than it had been in historically.
All that is assuming that ‘below Adams’ is referenced to along or near Beach Blvd. The FV corner wasn’t very expensive ten years ago, that might return or might not. Hard to say.

(Quote – “sdnativeson”: IMHO it exhibits complete bias, one side of the coin and all that. There is an implied opinion that the Clinton/Gore government is a paragon of governmental leadership and is beyond critcism. /Quote)
Nice…
Typical talk-radio-conservative crap. Slam others for precisely what you’re doing – insist that they’re the ones with the problem as a way to distract attention from your own activities.
Example: The phrase “Leftwing Media Bias” Conservatives seem to believe that any information that runs contrary to their talking points is inherently biased. Well, duh!
I have a saying that many years of engineering work has taught me. “There are glass-half-full people and glass-half-empty people. Some of these people will argue about who’s more correct. The only correct answer to that question is BOTH. Anyone arguing that their tiny part of the big picture is an adequate explanation for the entire picture is almost always already fooled and is trying to convince others to share in their foolishness.”
I don’t suggest that anyone has all the answers, and don’t see where I’ve put words in anyone else’s mouth to that effect. SDN, can you please have the common decently not to put those words in my mouth, or anyone else’s for that matter?
