Participant[quote=PatentGuy]…SoCal coastal prices are likely to drop significantly over the next three years, so I would stay in (Canadian) cash and rent for a season or two before you make any purchase decision….[/quote]
Good advice.

I come at this from a different perspective, SDR. I come from a different country, and didn’t know the politics here before I arrived. I am not under the impression that things have changed much over the years.
I would guess that your upbringing in one of the great American political tribes, as I like to call them, led you to believe that they were the Good Side, and the other tribe was the Dark Side. As a child, you just didn’t have the opportunity to see things as clearly as you see them now. In other words, SDR, it’s possible that your change in perspective is due to Observer enlightenment, not a change in the behavior of the Observed.

ParticipantSDR,
My blood pressure goes up a lot too when I see some of the schemes being pulled today. But we have to just realize that in a large complicated economy, those who collect more will be “raided” to supply those who do not. If we were cavemen, then there would be some of us who were unsuccessful hunters, and some who were successul, and some who ate all they caught every day, and some who saved some steaks for tomorrow. Every night the diligent and successful hunters who set aside a few extra woolly mammoth steaks for the next day would have visitors taking the extra meat, either through social pressure or straight out force, or by sneaky theft. Even generous hunters would find that others always took more than the successful and self-denying hunters wanted to give voluntarily.
Fast forward 10,000 years, and we have a system of passing money from taxpayers and savers to those who don’t pay taxes and/or don’t save. It sucks for people like you and me that both pay lots more in taxes than we get back, and save a lot more than we spend. But we don’t have a choice, so we may as well adapt. Have another glass of wine!

Participant[quote=patb]…how would that be different from a 97% with 30 year amortization?[/quote]
Banks found that it was much less risky to give someone $400,000 and $100,000 to buy a $500,000 shack than it was to give them $500,000. Those clever bankers!
