Yea, sure but you sure don`t see the government complaining about collecting the property transfer tax on every transaction.

Or the real estate agents giving back the commissions, even though long term, this is not good, in a very big way.

Just wait until all those way overpriced condos built with the cheapest materials start falling apart.

Glad I don't live where you guys do!
The typical, average suburban ranch house of 1,500-2,000sq ft on a 1/4 acre lot goes for between $120,000 and $180,000. The one I posted with the picture for $500K is at the top end of the scale pretty much. There are houses for sale for as little as $25,000 to $30,000 but they need work and the neighborhoods most are in,,,,,,,,,,,,,NO THANK YOU!
Example. 1,500 sq ft house over in Weston, asking price $139,900

Funny how threads change into other things.....lol.
Something has to pop here. $350,000 bungalows here are now over a mil. When this all finally pops it's gonna get ugly.

Yeah, what the heck?
It's just the same as when you and your buddy, wife, dad (whoever) are talking about one thing and you end up talking about something 100 miles away from the original subject half an hour later. Then, try to figure out how it went from one thing to the next, and the next, and the next.........
Part of the reason house prices are relatively reasonable in this area is, the average yearly income isn't anywhere near as much as a lot of places. I mean, we do the exact same work here, it just pays less and the prices of homes and a lot of other things reflects that. The median household income for the area is $51,000 as an example. Part of the reason the only "luxury" brand of cars sold here is Audi and that has to be combined with a VW and Hyundai dealer. Stand alone Audi would never survive. There's also Chrysler and Cadillac of course, but no Lexus, MB, Infinity, Porsche, BMW, or any of the other higher priced makes dealers (or Volvo, Mazda, Mitsubishi, or Fiat for that matter). One other reason for that may be also the preference of people in this area for American makes like Chrysler, Ford and GM which outnumber "foreign" cars by a big margin. Trucks especially. I use "American makes" cautiously because some of the foreign cars are more American made than the American ones,,,,,,sadly.

Back to the driving subject, I saw this happen live today when I was out getting 'now' pics
The SUV driver was a total bone head.

.............and because of some bonehead, who was probably yakking on his/her stupid cell phone at the time, caused all that,,,,,I see traffic backed up big time. All thanks to one idiot.
Best part is, it was probably all caught on dash-cam by the Police. I assume they have dash-cams in all the squads in whatever place you live anyways(?)
Let's just hope the SUV driver wasn't black and the cop white, or is that just a U.S. thing

I was 2nd vehicle in the curb lane, about where the pic of the of the SUV was taken.
I didn't hear the crash, but all the sudden I saw a Crown Vic bumper cover flying.

Someone found out that pulling fast and furious moves in the rain don't work if you don't really know what you're doing.....

I'd love to have a look at the tires. Probably worn down beyond the wear bars, add some water to the road and suddenly you're sideways.
