Relief In Sight?
I feel a tiny step closer to the American Dream tonight.
A few months ago, I sat down with a close relative from another part of the country to try and explain the SoCal housing market. I used the following example to illustrate the absurdity of what is happening here:
- One bedroom, one bath
- 900 square feet
- Build in the 1940’s
- Listed for $839,000
She said to me, “Why would a rich person buy that house?” I said, “They don't."
Then I went and found solace and inspiration here.
On an unrelated point, I listened to the new Sheryl Crow CD this weekend. Two good songs: "Good is Good" and "I Know Why". The rest is so dreary that after listening to the album in its entirely I was in a depressive state so serious that even Depeche Mode could have rescued me. Don't say I didn't warn you.
