Did you care when it was blue-collar workers losing their jobs? I think there is a feeling that the yuppies did not care then but think their situation is somehow different. Maybe losing a $300,000 home is worse than losing a $70,000 home.

$300,000 home? The median price is over $500,000 in Santa Clara County. The $300,000 homes are what we moved out of, with 5 murders in one year within 1/4 radius of our home. Your point is understood but folks are losing homes worth much more than $300,000 (if that was your point).

No, FITZ, we both know that's not true. A man's home is his castle. I may anger some, but I think they [some of the remarks],are based on a little envy of what some of these people were making!?
