Market up on better than expected disaster.
Lots of Market Manipulation that is why
How many can’t pay, as opposed to people who can afford to pay, but choose not to on a house that will not be worth what they owe in the forseeable future? Many people who are upside down with no chance of selling have chosen to simply “walk away”.
Predictable ping...
Glad I live in an apt. Huge one-bedroom in a suburban neighborhood and I only pay $340 a month.
All you folks who told me that this problem was only subprime, and I told you it wasn’t... told you so.
Right on Obama's schedule.
Now he has Aerospace and health care to destroy.
Did he destroy farming yet?
Sorry, so much destruction to track and he moves fast! ;)
So much destruction to accomplish and so little time to accomplish it.
Only slightly off topic:
So, are the foreclosed, empty, ‘blighted houses’ in cities to be bulldozed en masse under Waxman-Markey? Would such actions be applicable based on a percentage of empty homes in a neighborhood—if the owners cannot afford to upgrade the houses to whatever the ‘house czar’ or some such person would decide are appropriate ‘green’ standards?

Its The Latest Thing: Indestructure Spending”
“In fact, Youngstown, Ohio has been pursuing a...plan for years, hoping to bulldoze large portions of the city in an effort to have citizens live in more efficient, government-approved neighborhoods.
This will no doubt surprise you as it did us, but apparently people are fairly unenthused about having their neighborhoods bulldozed. These people are oddly unaware of just how unhappy and blighted they are living in their lifelong homes and tight-knit, if less populated, communities.”

Another article on the same line as my previous post:
“US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive”
“Dozens of US cities may have entire neighbourhoods bulldozed as part of drastic “shrink to survive” proposals being considered by the Obama administration to tackle economic decline.”
Pretty cheap...Personally, if I had to ever live in an apartment again like I did many years ago, I'd commit mass murder.
Why not just forgive their entire mortgage and be done with it once and for all. Then extend that to all of us...pay off every mortgage in America. Think of the capital unleashed if we weren't saddled with mortgage payments. We could all go on massive spending sprees and really kick-start the economy.
This is not a surprise. With unemployment still growing, the number of people who can pay their mortgages (of all kinds) is shrinking.
Duh.
And that’s whats doing it now...Compounded by the fact that nearly everything people buy, just keeps going up in price incrementally.
Or maybe Zero’s credit card policies ... or both.
Part of the looney lefts plan they want people in large urban areas
I suppose it will be easier to control them that way
