Check out this gem: http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1456738 Yikes. I've noticed a disturbing trend in a lot of properties: An enormous, brand-new flat-screen TV in the middle of an otherwise filthy, sparsely decorated dump. Priorities, I guess. Hey Doc,

Yikes.

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in a lot of properties: An enormous, brand-new flat-screen TV in the middle of an otherwise filthy, sparsely decorated dump.

Priorities, I guess.

It's evident in the asking prices of homes currently on the market and consistent with my day-to-day conversations around the office. It's as if simply ignoring the facts will make it disappear.

It's as if simply blocking it out would make it go away. In any case, I'd be too scared to live in Compton. =T I’m still seeing a lot of denial in the Socal area in both the ridiculous asking prices of homes currently on the market and through general small talk with homeowners, friends, family and coworkers.

The site I'm in the middle of updating is hooked to the link on my name for this post. About 25% of the open jobs are missing from the current system, which is what I am trying to remedy. You have to LIKE 4 seasons, but it is such an easy place to live from all other aspects, traffic, cost of living, good schools, diverse economy, excessive resources, etc. We missed the dot com bubble too. Markets are made up of people and a mentality and the mentality here is more cautious than average, I guess. I could go on and on with stats, but I'm already OT here. Drunk the koolaid... who me?
