XP still does everything I need. You can install it if you build your own.

I tend to keep MS operating systems for many years past their time. I only went from 2000 to XP about 2 years ago, and will keep using XP for another 5 years at least.

The only other rule I have is, “ONLY Maxtor hard drives.” If a store-bought PC doesn’t have a Maxtor hard drive, I don’t buy it, which usually means building my own.

4) Require 2/3 vote for bonds

This alone would make a huge difference.

I remember last year there was a proposition that was superceded by another which included the same wording, along with some additions. It was too late to remove the old one from the ballot, so the state published instructions that stated, in no uncertain terms, this prop is now defunct, VOTE NO on it. These instructions were easily found on the web and broadcast on local news. What do our genius fellow citizens do? 45% (or thereabouts) voted yes.

Proof that half the state is completely clueless when it comes to voting, so they need to let the other half make the decisions.

I’m sure that 45% was a big part of the majority that said “oooh neat, bullet train!”

There are so many variables that it’s difficult to predict what will happen in any rental market.

What if the bubble investors stop making payments, but still rent their properties while awaiting foreclosure, and at a steep discount? That would mean downward pressure on rents in the area.

Investors plan on buying up huge numbers of these foreclosures (both former investment properties and buyer residences) in the next several years. How will tens of thousands of new rental properties affect the market? More downward pressure.

How will a HUGE flood of former “owners”, now foreclosed upon and needing to rent, affect the market? Upward pressure.

I don’t know which has more influence, so I have no idea. I do know that the houses we’ve been looking at to rent in north county have been overwhelmed with prospective tenants, most of them foreclosure victims.
