ParticipantFunny, I never really saw them as an organic, healthy eaters paradise. More of a deli with foreign goodies, and salads to boot. If you are a foodie, you go there, if you are a burger chomper you don’t. The fact they were battling against contaminants in the first place is in their favor. Expensive? Too expensive to fill the basket.

ParticipantI’d say we are closer to the bottom. The last cycle took about six years, and was nowhere near as severe. Case Shiller resales prices are declining, median prices are declining, and many of the brokers I speak to are hanging in there, but have their reservations about where things are going. Rates may be very low, but many argue it’s better to buy at a lower value and higher rate. If, as someone has suggested, rates do spike then prices will resume a downward trend, putting off a recovery until a much later date.

ParticipantI did wonder about that. Women are better linguists though.

ParticipantIt’s going to cost more that they think. Railways always do. The financial model won’t work because commuters won’t be prepared to pay the price of a ticket to make it financially viable, so it will need to be subsidized by the tax payer. You will have a free market vs socialized transportation debate, that will ultimately become shaped by necessity, rather that keeping up with the Chinese. A big problem is CA cities are not designed around a public transportation system. You may be better off working with what you’ve got and improving upon it. Would it impact cities, real estate. You bet!
