I find it interesting that religious affiliations are hurting a candidate. This is not the first instance in which this has hurt Obama. Why couldn’t that have happened 8 years ago? Yes, race and religion are two different things but… I hope the religion card becomes a bad one to play. Not that I am against religion but I don’t appreciate that influence on our elections especially since it is the evangelicals that have made and threaten to make the most headway with it. The more candidates would keep it in the closet the better IMO.

patientlywaiting, I am curious about what constitutes your employment? Maybe you have said and I missed. If you prefer not to divulge, I understand. I’ll just be frank, I hope you don’t blog like you do on other peoples money. Not that it bothers me if other people do …just if you do.

My three year old is going around singing,
“Housing bubble what’s the trouble”
He really likes that video on youtube that was linked on a thread here.

Cracks me up all day. Catchy little tune.

Is there any way to un-condominiumize?

Good question indeed. This is going to be tough. In many cases these properties used to be fee simple ownership of two or more houses on one parcel(apn) that were “condominiumized” so that the units could be sold separately in the height of the bubble. So returning to that status might be possible but the city would probably want the units to meet current standards for density, setbacks etc or go through a variance process, all likely a real hard deal or impossible. I don’t really see anything but economic loss and emotional suffering in doing such a thing.I believe 2 Condominiums is a”higher and better use” than a 2 on 1.
Getting the property from a condo to separate sell-able fee simple properties is going to be even harder, although it might create more equity. The city always gets money for this stuff and these projects drive the economy a little through employment for third parties such as surveyors and engineers,so with building/development down hard maybe there are less roadblocks than there normally are to getting things done. I doubt it though.
