“I wonder how the new law eliminating tax liability for short sales will boost the big chunks and set lower comps as we move forward.”

I have to believe this is removing yet another block to people just walking away, which is why I’ve always supported the concept of removing the tax punishment, as it favors speeding the collapse, and subsequent recovery. In my mind this is the ONLY government intervention that makes any sense at all. Perhaps it makes the banks the bagholders in the end, but so be it.

I’m admittedly not economically savvy enough to know which is better or the economy as a whole, a slow decline or a rapid crash, but I know which is better for me. I’ll take the crash please….

I’m going to keep this thread alive for yet one more comment. I can’t believe I left for 2 days and this thread continues.

Marion, and for those whom I offended with my comment, I am sincerely sorry. My intention with my very sarcastic comment was not to offend, but to illustrate a hyperbole. It did not have the effect I desired, and for that I apologize. I really shouldn’t flame-post, I don’t have the stomach for it. Right after I hit the post comment key I felt a little bad about it.

The reason I’m posting this comment is to address something I’ve noticed with this board in the past couple of months. I’ve been pretty active here for about 8 months and the theme and tone of the board has changed substantially. I think I’m beginning to see why. Could it be that it’s becoming less relevant? When I found this board about a year ago I felt as if I was a voice alone in the wilderness, claiming the real estate market was doomed. This board was a place where nobody thought I was a nutter, and it made me feel comfortable. Now that everyone’s talking about the real estate bubble/collapse they don’t think I’m crazy anymore. Maybe so-called normal people have found this site and the tone has changed as a result.

I genuinely hope this is not the case, as I love reading this board and its links, and this new hobby of blogging allows me some time away from the medical journals.

In case I don’t post again over the holiday break, I wish everyone a Happy Holidays.

“It seems like 90% of the people who post here are renters waiting for prices to fall”

This may certainly be true, but don’t forget, there are many other reasons why people rent besides the pure economics of it. Sometimes I like to delude myself on what a genius I am for not buying in 2006 when we were transferred here. This was in fact an economic decision at the time as I knew I couldn’t stay more than 3 years. To be fair, I would have to admit that if I was sent to San Diego in 2006 I probably WOULD have bought, and would be crying, $100,000 in equity gone. Sometimes it’s just not the right time.

Interestingly, because of this blog and others like it, if I were transferred to San Diego now I absolutely would not buy. I just don’t think we’re going to see enough inflation in the next few years to justify anything close to these prices. I definitely wont see anything like the necessary pay increase to be able to justify them.

You’re right, it was rude and I try not to do that, but for some reason this post caught me as way too unrealistic. I have identified my specialty before, I’m an obstetrician, and I typically have a great deal of patience with women in pain.

As far as unacceptable, it is a (fairly) anonymous blog, unacceptable comments DO occaisionally occur in the spirit of the moment. I’ll behave.
