Ah, the stupidity of youth, vanity of middle age, and supreme wisdom of geriatric inertia. Age is also a big determinant on who has been getting crushed in this housing market. Most of the kids born in the 70s were a little too young to really see the early 90s crappy market, and so...

That or the banks have effectively shut their doors since they made a bottom on the stock market a few weeks ago. I half expect to see tumbleweeds in the parking lots...

OC is seriously lacking in institutions of higher education relative to its size and significance. That means less professionals and generally lower incomes once various speculative bubbles wash out. It's also much too dependent on real estate and finance as a job creator. The monoculture of...

There are certainly more than a few ironies in the ways that the upper-middle class shot themselves in the foot on this one. "What's the matter with Kansas" suggested that low-income midwesterners and southerners were the biggest unwitting victims of the DeLay era - but perhaps that isn't...

Wow, thanks, CCO. I think this, combined with the water issues, are two of the bigger challenges to the region, though perhaps things that inhibit growth aren't seen as necessarily negative by the denizens of our little chunk of paradise. Do you have any idea how this contrasts with Carmel...
