Those were the "good old days", right? But nobody ever realized that the shit that went down back then would have to be paid for in the future. Hence why we have the EPA.

I'm gunna laugh when I'm 40 and they all are starving on SS and loosing their houses. They can fuck themselves as far as I care. Maybe by then I can have the option of having a "summer home" or buy a new car every 2 years.

But instead the government is going to be nearly bankrupt keeping the money flowing since they refuse to sell their homes when they can't afford it any longer. Why doesn't the government help people like a friend of mine? Student loans, low paying job that is high for his situation, degree, wife that works full time too, two old used cars, no hobbies that cost $$$ but banks laugh at him for all house loans. If old Lady Robinson went to the home there would be one more house for a new family to start in. Instead that crusty old bitch is gunna die in it 10 years from now while using it for 10% of the space until then. All the while here is my friend, paying rent to another babyboomer who has 3 houses, no degree, no job, just "got a good deal" and bought these houses 15 years ago for 15% of what they would go for now. Pay scales haven't gone up HALF that.

Why do you think home prices are so rediculous? So many people can afford them, that's why. Thank you babyboomers. Thank you corperations for increasing pay mainly due to time spent on the job instead of value added.

Fuck you joe. That little old 92 year old lady who lived in that house since she was 23 at least could AFFORD a house when she was 23. Now since it's such a horrible thing when the bank forcloses on a home there are so few cheap homes for sale.
Keep supporting the people who can't afford homes so that the everyday person can't as well. It's unfortunate but a large majority of my generation is doomed to rent or barely squeak by owning for most of their lives. And I thank liberals for that, even though I side with them for most things.

end of rant, back to work

while I do understand what you are saying i am not sure that is entirely true...home ownership is at an all time high....don't take what is going on in this part of the country and think it is like that everywhere.....for example...in NC there are tons of new affordable homes...new construction...etc....and a lot of other parts of the country...
