ParticipantI don’t recall PS complimenting the president of Iran.
ParticipantI guess that there’ll be good deals in Ft Lauderdale, a city that has the 2nd highest foreclosure rate.
Ft Lauderdale is a good place to retire — balmy weather and no state income taxes.
We have years to go before this national housing bubble deflates.
ParticipantYou’ll see a lot more of those artificial sales because in a down market, investors who got out are reluctant to replace sold properties with new properties. So they are more likely to “exchange” properties with a related party/company/relative.
ParticipantSounds like the 9/11 conspiracy is some kind of “intelligent design.” Belief in intelligent design is also not too far off from believing in the conspiracy theories. Truth like beauty are often times in the eyes of beholder only.
The Bushies have been pushing Intelligent Design on us for a long time now, so let’s not be so surprised when people do start to believe it. It’s called the law of unintended consequences.
ParticipantPiggington is one of the few blogs I read regularly…. so I don’t mind posts on non-housing topics. There’re like the foreign language radio stations. If you don’t like them, don’t tune to them.
Just don’t take things too seriously. If you don’t agree with a post, think of it as entertainment and have a good laugh.
ParticipantSometimes related parties engineer “sales” to create 1031 exchanges for tax purposes.
ParticipantA search of Chula Vista Towne Center showed this UT Article.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20060205/news_lz1b5mall.htmlI find it interesting that most discussions on Piggington are on North San Diego neighborhoods. We have few posts about the South County.
ParticipantI believe exactly what Tom Friedman expressed — 10 months or 10 years. Either we put in the resources to completely rebuild Iraq in 10 years (unlikely the voters would support this proposition) or get out in 10 months.
ParticipantYou’re in the a great position. If I were you, I’d sit back, relax and watch the market implode. Then buy something when the time is right.
The bank might just want to sell the house to you, but my guess is that in one year, the market will still be much higher than rent.
Personally, I think that a 2000sf house is perfect. If you utilize the space well, you have plenty of room.
ParticipantI’m not the only one faulting Bush — Republicans are. Did you watch the talk shows this past weekend? If not you can catch them online. Colin Powell and Newt Gringrich are also criticizing Bush. Before long you’ll have all sorts of Republicans running away from Bush.

ParticipantThat’s also how homebuilders are able to advertize that buying their houses “cost” less than rent.
I heard that Realtors use this line of selling to close deals all the time.
ParticipantSalo, i guess i’m not getting any thanks, ha.haha. That’s Ok.
No, there are no conspiracy. Considering how incompetent the Bush Administration is, they simply missed the signs of an impending attack. Once 9/11 occured they seized that opportunity to advance their agenda. Now every government around the world is following the lead of the Bush Administration and using “terrorism” to crack down on discent.
If you want to gauge the competency of the Bushies, consider that now that we are in control of Iraq, terrorism and corruption in that country are the biggest threats ever. Our presence in Iraq is creating more terrorists than ever.
Bush was the Decider before but now he’s the Thinker. He won’t finish thinking until January while our soldiers are being killed in Iraq. So much for competence. No, Bush was not capable of managing that conspiracy.
Participant3 months’ salary on an engagement ring is not that much for a diamond ring. I’ve been diamond shopping with my auntie (she loves jewelry) and I know how much they cost. An upper middle-class woman living in say Carmel Valley would probably expect a diamond ring worth 50k up. Costco even sells diamond rings worth 100k +. I can guarantee you that no pretty woman worth her looks would take any less, ha.ha. (just joking)
In reality, diamonds are a dime a dozen and aren’t worth that much except that the DeBeers cartel limits the supply to hold prices up. Manufactured diamonds are just as good as real diamonds. The “worth” of a diamond is all psychology, marketing and artificially limited supply.
Thank goodness I’m not getting married soon. 😉
