ParticipantI try to avoid crap-carding and pay cash for transactions below a few hundred
(a) crap-cards and their fees screw over smaller merchants
(b) officially or not, a lot of the smaller merchants give cash discounts, which sort of balances the points issue
(c) privacy issuesTechie as I am, I’m a proud follower of Ned Ludd in this particular respect.

Other than proximity to extreme Southerners, doesn’t all this apply to (say) the Marina District of SF? 😉
As far as water, solar and/or nuclear desalination can go a long way.

Everytime Ben has opened the hole under his nose, prices of necessities have gone up, acting as an anti-stimulus. Maybe if he were smart enough to keep his maw zipped, the economy would actually be closer to recovery.

Not for use abroad. HSBC has a bunch of services that are quite useful if you travel a lot.

ParticipantThat comment of mine was actually tongue planted firmly in cheek.
So was mine 🙂

ParticipantAs long as we can move the capitol from Sacra-ghetto, I’m all for it!
Why? It keeps all of the politicians from polluting more pristine places. Kind of like how DC was built on a malarial swamp 🙂
ParticipantYou are comparing apples and oranges. In NJ/NY which use attorneys there are still agents on each side.
For sale by owner is relatively common, as are buyers approaching the seller’s agent directly and not having a broker of their own. In CA, agents looked at me like I had three eyes when I approached them directly.
ParticipantFor almost $1MM, is it really too much to ask to be able to pick your own fixtures, doors, and general interior accoutrements?
ParticipantBoth NJ and NY require attorneys. I have less of a problem working with one just before closing (after I satisfy myself of everything) than dealing with a buyer broker for months on end!
Atty fee is actually cheap as compared to a broker commission. Yeah, yeah, seller pays, but everything eventually gets passed to the buyer!
ParticipantNY and California pay a lot more to DC per resident than they get back in subsidies. I suspect that if CA wasn’t tied to the rest of America, it would do just fine and have a balanced budget. 8th or 9th largest economy in the world and all that.
If you want to see a “welfare” state, look at Mississippi or Arkansas.
