All well and good, but paying insane prices for real estate is a
"bubble" and when the bubble bursts (as they all do), the -ENTIRE-
country gets hurt...even maroons in Holland Michigan.

(Or doesn't your feeble brain remember how bad the -country- got hurt
when the "dot com" bubble went bust????)


The whole country got hurt? The dot com bust didn't effect me one bit.

But I thought the topic was related to paying "too much", not selling. The
people who were paying "too much" didn't know they paid too much until the
after the bust.

If the whole country gets hurt, how might we protect the innocent victims of
these periodic busts? Perhaps punish those would sell "too cheap"?

That is part of what the War on terrorism is about,America is not going
to wind up paying euros for oil.The U.S.housing market always has it's
ups and downs.There is a building boom going on right now here in
Jackson and the surounding suburb cities
(Richland,Brandon,Pearl,Madison,Ridgeland,Byram,Fl owood etc) of
Jackson.I hope Jackson never turns into one of those great big cities
that are so full of crap and crazy people.One ''crazy'' (me) around here
is enough.

That's what you get for working in lala land (i.e. dot com land).
While you were out investing in .com stock and investing your career in
them, I worked defense, bought real estate, and pursued my Ph. D.
Suffice to say, I likely won't have to worry about work for the rest of
my life. I'm sure 1999 was really good to you though.
