Expect a crash in housing, along with the rest of the economy, if BO cheats and lies his way back into office. These glimmers of hope are solely based on the possibility that the First Dictator will lose.
I suspect the Clear Lake area (which includes Friendswood, if only on the western fringe) has worked through the worst effects of the Great Space Shuttle Massacree of 2011. Most of the displaced space workers have either (like me) found new jobs in the oil industry or moved on to other things. (Lots of my former co-workers still in aerospace are now in Mesa, Everett, WA, or Charleston, SC. working on commercial aircraft.)
I now work on the west side of Houston (Beltway 8 near I-10), but the commute isn’t bad enough to motivate me to move from League City. Actualy the drive is all at highway speed, except for a stretch of the Gulf Freeway near Dixie Farm Road when I go through (I work from 6:30 am to 3:30 pm).
Folks can do a lot worse than Friendswood or League City.

Q-11: Will the 3.8% tax apply to any part of the gain on the sale of a principal residence?
A: Maybe. The new Medicare tax would apply only to any gain realized that is more than the $250K/$500K existing primary home exclusion (known as the “taxable gain”), and only if the seller has AGI above the $200K/$250K AGI thresholds.
So, for example, if the taxable gain was $30,000 and a married couple had AGI (which would include the taxable gain) of $180,000, the 3.8% tax would not apply because AGI is less than $250,000. If that same couple had AGI of $290,000, then the application of the 3.8% tax would be subject to the same formula described above. The $30,000 taxable gain on the sale would be less than the $40,000 excess above $250,000 AGI, so the $30,000 gain would be subject to the new 3.8% tax.
I can’t believe the National Assn of Realtors isn’t in full-throated cry over this issue. They must not be awake because this tax will KILL what’s left of their industry.
Someone is going to do this.
From the report:
Attorneys for anyone accused of a criminal offence signed into statute by President Obama under Art. I, s. 7, have the right to request access by their forensic investigators to the Hawaii Health Department’s original birth record for Mr. Obama to satisfy them that the President is the President, the statute the statute and the alleged offence an offence. he suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process [14th Amdt.] where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment”. Therefore, the courts will be obliged to grant any such defence request. By the supremacy clause (Art. 6), Hawaii must comply.
By the precedent set in Brady v. Maryland (373 US 83, 1963), “T Does the issue matter? Advice from an eminent constitutional lawyer is that it does: “The Constitution is the supreme law of the US. We amend it, or we abide by it.” He expects a credible court challenge to the authenticity of Mr. Obama’s birth certificate soon. If it occurs, and if the certificate is a forgery, the constitutional consequences will be grave.
Standing, by virtue of direct, personal harm involved in a criminal indictment/conviction? What types of cases would this involve?
