[quote=contrarian]The top ten ways to know that the bottom is here:

(Drum roll please)

10. No sellers are offering “free” plasma TV’s — just lower prices.

9. Buyers with bad credit are called renters.

8. RE professionals act professionally.

7. Time magazine’s headline “Housing will never recover”.

6. Your waitress and your barber no longer brag about how they made a fortune in real estate.

5. People buy houses to actually live in them.

4. US Attorney convicts Angelo Mozilo.

3. Democrats establish a commission to “cure” the housing problem. Republicans issue a press release stating that there may be a housing bubble. Libertarians are busy building bomb shelters.

2. No more bombastic ads for get rich quick real estate seminars.

And, the number one way to know that the bottom is here: all the Piggs have bought their dream houses!

I’m still waiting for #4 and #1. (Forget about #8 — it will never happen. What was I thinking?)

We had the answer to this 200 years ago. We don’t need to invent a solution, just read some history:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Barbary_War

Yes, I know the world is so much more complex and we must indulge the sensitive nature of these indigenous people. We should take a lesson from the Chinese. Gotta love the Chinese for subtlety:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2000/jan/30/china.johngittings/print

The Chinese respected and admired the hell out of the pirate/killers they apprehended…. right up to the time the Chinese put rifle bullets through their heads. Very low recidivism rate. And (strangely) not many pirates attacking Chinese vessels since. Go figure.

And … (drum roll) … the #1 thing I love about San Diego is: Low housing prices (applause).

Oops. Made a mistake. This post is 24 months early.
