ParticipantI’ll chime in on Norris too. Like others have said, he is not perfect. He makes some of his living from selling his RE services and advice, so expect some marketing from him. But I listened carefully to a lot of his radio shows, and most of it is very good information packaged by a clearly intelligent person, with little of the buy-now-or-be-priced-out-forever twaddle that was common amongst people who made a living out of RE.

ParticipantPadreBrian, I agree that Bush was very culpable. Obama is reacting to a really nasty situation. He’s making mistakes in my judgment, but I don’t honestly get the same sense of “me and my buddies first” that I got from the Bush group. I’ll wait a while before pronouncing Obama guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Now Larry Summers is a disaster, and….
I think your characterization of “mob and corporations” is pretty close, except I would add a professional class of politicians and lobbyists and consultants that has its grubby fingers all over the national economy’s controls. They take in influences from the rabble, and money from special interests, and take a little off the top in return for helping people arrange to be fed from the public trough.

ParticipantThanks, Cabal. It’s good to see my tax money hard at work, continuing to price me out of a home so irresponsible people can have it instead.
Thank you, Barney, thank you Ben, thank you all.

Participant[quote=FormerSanDiegan] …I find it funny that in an environment where the median price has dropped by 40% that anyone would think that bears have lost.
[/quote]Hmmm…. housing is cyclical. I think comparing each stage of the current house price cycle to the corresponding stage of the last and prior cycles makes more sense than simply calculating the % drop from the last peak. And that’s doubly true because the last housing peak was the highest and most widespread – global – in recorded history. So compare to 1996 prices, increased for CPI inflation since then. If we are still above that level, then we haven’t even returned to a trough appropriate for the lesser peak before the last.
