      Someone will invent intelligent "media blocker" sunglasses for city people which will block out or noise cancel all electronic noise and video and replace all advertising with screen saver type images of your own choosing. how about wanting through times square and only hearing your favorite song, and what humans are saying around you, and instead of billboards everywhere you saw images from your flickr account wallpapering the buildings around you. a short of realtime TIVO for your physical reality..

      or I could just keep living out in the mountains and not worry about it.

    • Peter Hooper on the Economic Outlook [view article]
      I found page 12 in the presentation to be the most interesting point. I haven't heard anyone mention before that _some_ of the average price run up in the last 10 years incorporates higher building standards and more 'luxury' in average houses. At least its a nugget of positive information or at least 'less negative' to add to the mix. Apr 28 11:50 AM

      Maybe schools should use some of the time in "home economics" classes on cooking/sewing to actual home education about the economics or owning versus renting and how to save for a down payment. Mar 12 10:22 AM

      It seems like most of the negative reaction above to allowing immigrants to buy is emotional (perhaps xenophobic, racist, patriotic), while the positive ideas are based on economic ideas.

      I would like to know if you can find any American Citizens who are engineers or doctors who would oppose allowing green card holding citizens to buy homes. We need these people to stay!

      The only risk to allowing the housing market to correct itself is that the downturn could snowball into a large recession.

      Is there any movement to contact politicians and ask them, "Please do nothing. I want to buy an affordable home in the next few years?"
      Please post it so we can act..       Mar 05 12:11 PM

      People who are losing their homes because they can't afford the mortgage shouldn't become homeless if they aren't losing their jobs as well. Instead they will go rent a house who someone else just lost and will benefit from lower rents. If they could afford the ARM mortgage for a few years they should be able to downsize a bit and afford reasonable rent. So don't cry for these people who gambled that housing would go up and lost. Some of us have been waiting to buy a house and are just waiting for what seems like a low point. The market will correct itself! Let the banks take the losses for bad loans. Messing with markets only helps some and hurts others. What about first time homebuyers coming of age in the next few years. Should they have to pay more for their first house because the govt bails out the people that can't afford their current mortgages? Mar 02 06:06 PM
