Why the 2008 Housing Relief Bill is No Relief

To Realestateagent: Your the first honest one I have read about in many years. Good job on controlling your finances. I have a side question. When you built your own house, what did it cost you (not including lot) per square foot to build it. here in california builders are still charging over $300/sq ft for a starter house in a gang area and a sewage treatment plant across the street.

Fire insurance companies spend up to $50/sq foot restoring a burned down house. How to builders get away with the lie that it costs them so much to build? Atrouind mny area, most of the workers are illegal aliens getting paid cash---if the builders pay them at all?


Whast the big secret iun construction? layers and layers of the same subcontractors are used to boost the price. Tell us about your experience building your own house. Many of us SAVERS and RENTERS want to know. We want to get out from this monthly rent. My landlord is a developer, an engineer, a builder and a Real estate company. He is tryiong to sell a VACANT dirt lot at only 8,000 sq feet in a agricultural area ( a farm is across the street, and cows one block away). The price? $299,000 for a teensy lot---and its next to a sewage treatment plant. It was formerly part of a flooded out area that he purchased for almost nothing, his family owns the town, they include the mayor, city planning, and city councilman. The citizerns don't yet see the connection. If they talk about it, they get fired.
