Genius. The "people's champs" conviction lasted all of 6 days. You should ALWAYS follow Indie's advice. It is rock solid for a week at a time.

because the power lines don't bother you?

USCT, 1) Don't they make you sign disclosures about land fill as well? I recall you mentioned a buyer of yours had to sign that. So it isn't the disclosure, it is the planting fruits and vegetables part, right? There seemed to be plenty of plants and trees there if I recall so it isn't a...

USC, Interesting. how do you think this compares with las ventanas then given las ventanas is near land fill and near free way and has fire hazards. You said you were considering buying their yourself so wanted to hear your thoughts on why Las Ventanas is ok but this location is a "pass".

US in 1970's was Zimbabwe? Out of context, in context, your statement that inflation cannot occur without "real" wage growth are simply WRONG. This doesn't make my forecasts right. But it does make you wrong. Ok, and now that "the people's champ" has been shown contradictory data, "the...

It's interesting that alot of pundits think that Qe2 ending could rally treasuries (like they are now). The logic is that QE2 ending increases volatility and treasury safe haven will be attractive. Also that with QE2 ending, the economy is more in danger of a double dip and again lead to lower...

In "real" terms, it is actually down even more. If you assume 3% annual inflation deflator, then there is another 16% down in 2005 "constant" dollars.

top communities in terms of price and cost be damned? If it is best bang for the buck, then all the new communities have much higher carrying costs and smaller lots and hence lower b/$. But if it is price be damned, hard to top Shady or The Summit (i think that is what it is called, part of...

Akim, why didn't you sell your current place? Sorry if you already answered in a previous post. i know you talked about your options and choices but didn't recall the specific reason you didn't try to sell your current house.
