Mark HolmesParticipant
LA Renter – I think you’re closer to the mark than anyone.
But who knows?
I do hope prices keep falling until housing is roughly in line with rents again. I certainly don’t want to rent forever.
But I will. I’ll rent until I’m in my grave before I’ll pay $300,000+ for a shack in Normal Heights or North Park.
I don’t have to buy.
But it seems that there are more and more sellers who have to sell, ASAP.
I do hope things in the overall economy start to stabilize in the next couple of years, though. Too many people aare getting hurt in this mess. It never should have been allowed to happen.

Most people who run the entertainment business (my other job is producing independent films) are liberals. They employ thousands of people in California.
Steven Spielberg, anyone? Robert Redford, anyone?How about Google? It’s market cap is over $97B and it employs over 10,000 people. They just donated $100,000 to try and defeat Prop. 8, and are considered very liberal in other positions.
How about Apple and Steve Jobs? Market cap over $80B and employs 28,000 worldwide. Another big No on Prop. 8 supporter.
I could go on and on, but what’s the point? There are plenty of Democratic, liberal employers. Right-wing Republicans hardly have a lock on that. And the way the economic winds are blowing, it looks like the next big employer will be neither, but the federal government.

Mark HolmesParticipantLucky you! $90 a square foot! Lord….
Here in Normal Heights/Kensington we’re still averaging between $300 – $700 a square foot. Ridiculous.
Until the Rent vs. Buy calculator on NYTimes starts to make sense, we’ll continue to be dissatisfied renters. But it’s better than throwing our money away into an endless negative-equity/property taxes/house upkeep black hole…
