oh yeah

By the same token, why didn’t the state government require those hundreds of developers and landowner sellers in places like Vacaville to fund a mass transit system from their profits . Did they think that would be communism?

Uh huh, if you think that home prices are expensive now, just wait until some requirement like that is put into place. It’ll make the bubble gosh darn cheap.

First rule of business – costs are passed on to the eventual buyers. If you can’t do anything with a reasonable amount of profit, then it’s better to just not do it at all.

new trend

Something I’ve been seeing recently is that there are many renters who are in absolutely no position to move because they are living paycheck to paycheck, have no savings, and as a result, cannot move into a new place. The new place requires at the least, first month’s rent and a security deposit (and many places require last month’s rent as well).

For expensive rentals like San Diego, this requirement can be very prohibitive. In cases where the previous landlord cannot return the security deposit, there’s no way they can find a new rental. So if they are evicted, they are essentially homeless.

kudos

While care should be taken to avoid overgeneralization, for all those who think that realtors don’t work hard, that theirs is an easy job, to show up at escrow and take the money, let this post (all of raptorduck’s posts) be Exhibit 1 to 175 that this stereotype is so so wrong.

Congrats RD. From all your posts, your wife is a gem and please try harder to make her happy. 🙂

riches

In the book “The Millionaire Next Door”, there is a metric for determining how well you are doing financially.

Age x Gross annual income / 10

If your net worth is twice this number, you are a PAW (prodigious accumulator of wealth) and can be considered rich.

If your number is half or less you are an UAW (underaccumulator of wealth).

Those who are PAW’s are generally rich, but do not necessarily look like they are rich. But their financial position is basically what most piggs here are aspiring to be.

The UAWs are the ones we piggs are generally disdainful of, those who look rich, but actually are in a financial hole.

I highly recommend reading the book.
