Glad to see that both sides are bringing data to the table. Dare I say that everyone is getting more civil here too. It is not often that a thread that devolves into mud-slinging can recover and become useful to us observers.
Here’s another piece of data. Many Americans have no idea how significant, area-wise, drilling for oil in ANWAR would really be. The fact is that the drilling would occupy an area the size of the Dallas airport, in a region the size of Virginia. That is like taking a postage stamp and putting it in the middle of your bedroom.
Add to that, with modern technology and safety requirements, oil spills and accidents are practically non-existent today.
Whether you are for or against drilling in ANWAR, let’s keep these facts in perspective.

Let’s remember the Prop 13 rules we (and the Assessor) must live by. The assessed value can only increase by 2% a year since the time you bought it. Accordingly, people who bought long ago and whose assessed value is still below their (recently reduced) market value will get no benefit. Yet. This may apply to FLU.

Amen DWCAP. Let’s examine that statement “throwing your money away on rent”.

Paying a month’s rent gets the tenant a place to live, running water, bedrooms, electrical outlets, heating and cooling, a kitchen, a bathroom or two or three, a garage or parking places, probably a yard, for the whole bloomin family and maybe pets.
All that from a possibly underwater landlord (I’m one) who may write a bigger mortgage check monthly than your rent, who also pays your property tax, insurance, repairs, & gets to see his property value fall at least 1% each month.

I’d call that a screaming bargain for the tenant.
