[quote=kewp]Uh, how does ‘faster’ equal ‘worse’?

It doesn’t, nor is your take representative of what the article implies. The quote was [quote]”I don’t remember any time, maybe even in the Great Depression, when things went down quite so fast, quite so uniformly around the world,” [/quote]
Taken in context he’s saying two things are working together to make things worse: the rapid speed and scope of our current circumstances is worse than what happened during the Great Depression.

[quote=UCGal]Despite the rumors, even with these tax increases, our taxes are lower than many New England/Mid-Atlantic states. But if you want to convince yourself we’re the highest, feel free.

Nice try.
Vermont: 9.5% starting at a whopping $357,000 in income.
Maine: 8.5% at $19,450
Maryland: 5.5% at $550,000
Virginia: 5.75% at $17,000

California: 9.55% NOW (9.3% before this new plan), starting at $44,815

Can you please post which state(s) you’re referring to, the tax rate it has, and the point at which that rate kicks in? Nobody buys a blind appeal like this as it lacks one critical factor: FACTS.

One thing to keep in mind is that we’re quickly heading into water rationing. Some have placed it at close to a 50/50 shot for this summer. Even if we come close to rationing our water rates are likely to climb by 20-40%, making a pool and/or spa much more costly.

Find a place where the HOA maintains and pays for a pool is my best advice.
