ParticipantTo the OP:
I recommend getting a professional opinion on the value and rental market before making that final set of decisions.
I mention that because of my own situation.
Before I married her, my wife bought a place in North Park. It is now about 60-70% of the original purchase price.
This is where we live now.
If we were to sell, it would be a short sale.
However, if we rent it out, it will cash flow positive.Its an easy decision since values are rising right now around here.
It may be that you do not have complete information regarding your current situation.
It may be that you are in a much better position than you realize.November 15, 2009 at 8:30 PM in reply to: Off Topic “Judge rules activist’s beliefs on climate change akin to religion” #483234urbanrealtor
Participant[quote=jficquette][quote=urbanrealtor][quote=jficquette]I though point number 2 was interesting in that I could see how belief in an all powerful government utilizing Socialism could be defined as a religion considering it has never worked anywhere its been tried yet so many people still have faith in it.[/quote]
Kind of like libertarianism or Ron Paul.[/quote]
Where has libertarianism been tried?[/quote]
Neither true Marxism nor true libertarianism has ever been tried (ironically, both versions involve no government in the final product).
However, we have seen periods of very serious government control over the means of production and distribution and we have seen periods of very little control.
Both are unsustainable in a long term sense.
Every time the political relationship with the economy has been extreme (in either direction) it has been cured with revolution (eg: Russia, China, US) or reform (eg: Russia, China, US).In the United States we had a revolution due to unreasonable crown control over commerce. This was followed first by a new strong government 13 years later and then several decades later by the reforms of Sherman Anti-trust.

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Dan: I’m going to create a rule here for you and I. From here on out, any mention of appeasement CANNOT reference Chamberlain and Hitler (because, frankly, its overdone here) and MUST use Ethelred the Unready and his bribe of the Vikings using Danegeld.
Also, any “end times” mention CANNOT use the Mayan Prophecy of 2012 and MUST use St. Malachy’s visions instead.
Of everyone that posts consistently here, I truly believe you are the most qualified to run with this.
Cheers, ya Fenian bastard![/quote]
Okay
1:
I am not entirely convinced that giving away Czech was actually a sacrifice (in an actual strategic way). In more of a Redeker plan sort of way it makes a certain sort of sense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redeker_Plan#Plot_summary).2: I really like to think of myself as one of the long-lost illegitimate Celtic heirs to Ethelred.
Also, “Unready” is a misreading of “unraed” which is closer to “bad plan” or “poor counsel” than it is to “not ready”.Also, I like to roll naked in Danish bribe gold.
By “roll naked” I mean “drink” and by “gold” I mean “Monavie mixed with Vodka”.urbanrealtor
