I just read a story from the LA Times. (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-homes14mar14,0,696694.story?ref=patrick.net) and not once did the reporter or the so called financial experts mentioned that the problem with the southland housing is that it is still unaffordable. They never mentioned income as being an important factor in the housing bubble. What the hell is wrong with these people? Are they blind? Are they deaf? Are they stupid? The government has no concern for the Middle Class and Lower MC. Actions speak louder than words.

They are dropping quite a bit too, some in the 40 to 50% range. They all have spiky fences because it is a dangerous area. That house really reminds me of some of the junk in East Palo Alto.

LOL, that was along the lines of my thought too. I saw that and said, "that tinfoil hat won't work!" and then I thought again and laughed. If you are going tinfoil, it might as well be stylish... or is it robinhoodish? I wasn't sure on that point too. I like that the bailout seems to be hastening the collapse of the hedge funds as (I presume) an unintended consequence of offering treasuries in exchange for securities. _There's_ a group of people I can't generate any sympathy for. >If you think about it, a tinfoil hat is generally less than half a sphere….more of an upside-down parabola…doesn’t that focus the beams?

The banks are learning a lesson from their jingle mail customers. Put up the MBS as collateral, let the loan default and the Fed gets to keep the collateral. Isn't how things often work at pawn shops too? I think I see the trick here:
