That is really unfortunate. I enjoy the comments from Trooper and No-Vas. If graphix, bkshoprs, bix, step, ipo, peteruk, usctrojan, step, freedomcdm, black vault, ir2, and other regular bloggers leave, new or long-time bloggers, this blog will not be so interesting. Who can we trust as a voice...

Have not posted for quite a while - Everybody bashed me because I expected 97-98 prices. Ok, if IR wants to make some money trying to sell houses, I don't really care. I always thought his price projections were to optomistic. Before this is over rents will be much lower - Rents in the UK...

<p>bkshopr,</p> <p>What are your thoughts on the basement style at The Tides in Crystal Cove? How do the architects deal with moisture, odor (from the gym), trap like bunker style, smell from drunken men, mold, car pollution (plan 2), etc. problems?</p> <p>The styles (1 & 2) are impressive...

<p>There is an unspoken rule at every workplace: office politics. Hispanics help their Hispanic friends to get jobs. Blacks help Blacks and Caucasians help Caucasians. Asians do not help other Asians because they want to be the "Only" successful Asian at the top.</p> <p>In addition, Asian...
