While there are some fears that are unreasonable and people should make every effort possible to cast them out, it is a good idea to understand that being afraid is not always a negative thing.

There are arsons setting fires throughout the region. Fires are going to all out extinguish any chance of a real estate market recovery over the next 6-12 months regardless of other events. Economic impact is going to be devastating. Orange County's lifes blood is real estate. I appraised properties during the 1991 Oakland Hills Firestorm and it took at least 3 years for things to get back to normal. I respect the opinions in this blog......but they have become a tad repetitive. Really would like to hear more suggestions on solving the problem than cut and paste statistics that only exacerbate negative perception. Try to take an open mind and maybe stop generalizing that the whole system is corrupt. right now the last thing Socal residents should be worried about are their mortgage payments.

I moved here recently from another state and would really like to buy a house in Palm Springs (yes, I know, wait until at least late next year!). It will be a heck of a commute but I think it would be worth it. Is Palm Springs likely to be more buoyant because of it's resort nature or will it be hit hard too, do you think?
