Yes, but what will be done with them?

Part out the fancy plumbing and countertops to sell in India and Eastern Europe? Burn the wood in a regen plant?

Make them into poor houses and debtor's prisons.

If people were free to conduct business enterprise, they'd for sure go to some great uses. But expensive and cumbersome regulation makes perfectly lovely business enterprise opportunities rot like unpicked fruit. Disgusting.

I live in an area with multi-million dollar "McMansions," and I often walk in the nice gated neighborhoods. Most of them are very custom and lived in, though there's a good amount that look unoccupied, and these places are VAST. I can easily imagine these enormous, ridiculous homes 40 years into the future, sitting empty or run-down. I like to fantasize that a wonderful wild sense of commerce is unleashed because the places have such great potential for all kinds of enterpising things. Bed & Breakfast places, homey pet-sitting services, boarding houses, small personalized rest and care facilities for old folks -- they could be so many great things if the government would STAND ASIDE.

Someone needs to ask those in favor of "government help" in this "housing crises" if they would include these people in their government mortgage bailout.

I mean, these people are losing their homes Hillary! They'll have to live out of their car(s). Do you know what it is like trying to get dressed in the back seat of a Mercedes? (Yeah I know, Bill does)

This topic of government mortgage bailouts could turn out to be a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" issue if this is brought in to the debate. The Liberal poor will assume that these are all "Rich White Conservative Types" and say "Ha! Good for you. Your corporate greed finally caught up with you." And all the liberal elites will crying that "it is not fair! We are losing our homes too, just like you poor folk."

Time for more Operation Chaos to open another front to drive that wedge deeper into the heart of the "Liberalism Quagmire of Philosophy Contradiction."

Or as I like to call it: L.Q.O.P.C. (pronounced - Lick - O - Pic.)

Nope, just sell them for less. Plenty of people want to live in them, and will be very happy there.
