Stopped clock principle in effect here -- a liberal Democrat who appears to get it, on this issue at least.

I'm not sorry that all those developers building lofts downtown and in Hollywood and North Hollywood with no parking might have to eat their investment when they find they can't get half a mil for the 400-square-foot corner of a former sweatshop.

This guy gets at least some of it - he does understand that when you engage in financial risk, which was the case in the over-inflated real estate business, you should not feel sorry for those involved.

There is a little too much class envy in this article for me though, which is what I think when some liberal loser uses the word "McMansion". However, a correction in this market is looooongg overdue.

So much of this fueled by over-specualation, and MASSIVE mortgage fraud, especially in the inner-cities...

Doom and Gloom headlines "Housing prices worst slump in 20 years." Of course they don't point out that we've had the most ridiculous price runup in history over the past 7 years.

The market is just doing what it always does when it overheats, coming back to earth.

"...just like you know the Poppin' Fresh dough carton is going to make that loud noise when you pull the tab..."

Heck....hitting the side of the carton against the counter-top to open those Pillsbury cinnamon rolls was part of the fun. ;^)

Then maybe life can slowly come back to normal, and regular people with regular incomes can buy regular houses again without agreeing to loans so abusive they ought to be handed out of the back of gangster bars.

Does this mean new, quality pickup trucks will be selling for $3,000 instead of $40,000?

Talk about foreshadowing

I just stumbled on this article from last August.
