For some reason, you guys talking about buying those houses reminds me of that Nelly "Stepped on my J'z" video. " I buy houses all over this block, this house that house, and that house down there, I own them all !"

lol

Yeah, everyone knows that's RICHMOND, not Oakland.

Detroit looked sad a few years ago when the rest of the country was booming. So don't use it as any kind of real indicator.

well I got an idea. We should allow giant investment banks to increase their leverage to 30 times their capital, and ratings companies will get paid by the companies theyre rating, a conflict of interest that provides incentive to massively underestimate the risk associated with their mortgage-backed securities. Thus contributing to a speculative bubble the unrealistically inflates personal wealth. Its fool proof!

Oh wait? We already tried that??

At least the bobcats haven't moved into the Detroit neighborhoods and taken over the homes/streets. Oh, and at least any pools there haven't turned green, and become mass breeding grounds for 'squitos and the West Nile Virus.....cuz that's Arizona's job.
