I thought it was interesting that 8 of the 10 cities listed were in CA. Only Miami and DC were non-CA states. I was surprised Vegas and Phoenix weren’t listed.

Here’s a strictly anectdotal, but true, story.

Husband’s sister and her family lived in the Philly metro area – in one of the nicer suburbs. Then a job transfer moved them to Kentucky – where the schools sucked. But the kids were motivated and husband’s sister was a motivated mom – pushed her kids academically, supplementing what they were getting in school.

Nephew graduates top of his class. He got high test scores. Not surprising… He was the same smart kid in Kentucky going to crappy schools that he was when he was going to better school in the Philly burbs.

He applies to Wharton, is accepted with scholarships.

If he’d applied from a philly suburb with the same test scores, he’d have been turned down. They wanted geographic diversity and he was one of 2 students accepted from Kentucky. From a very small pool that applied There were thousands of students applying from the Philly metro area.

So… sometimes going to a crappy school IS a way to get into an Ivy college.

Looks like it sold for $760k. (Which is the ballpark of what I thought it should have been listed at originally.)

You assume they have a plan.

From the NYT’s

Elizabeth Warren, the chairwoman of the oversight panel, said in an interview Monday that the government instead seemed to be lurching from one tactic to the next without clarifying how each step fits into an overall plan.

From my ignorant perspective, it appears the plan is to transfer money from the treasury and fed to the big banks. Screw the rest of us and screw the deficit. But what do I know…. I don’t see a cohesive “plan”.
