Thank you for combining my comments about gentrification with my comparison of wage earners to welfare recipients. Depending on how you read the context, you might also be insulted if you are any other minority or just plain poor. Can you defi…

There are so many foreclosures that that portal has been closed for about a year now. Banks are hoarding, the same as global corporations are. Savers are talking the same way. If money moves through the system the system is expanding, once it sto…

I have a long response, but let me say simply that I lived and worked in the Raineer Valley in the 1970s and early 1980s. I never had a problem. It used to be a great place. White people ruined the community feel of many neighborhoods. It was tra…

Geez! Wake UP! Waiting and watching for something that will happen tomorrow. What I object to is the mindless banter of how smart everybody was to not do something. People wait, they save, they play the game, then call that responsible. …

gentrifiers, I love that term. It harkins back to the days of the early settlers. When pioneers came in the claim this great continent for themselves. You get the idea, I don't really need to go there. Columbia City and along Raineer from the …

Funny! That's the point. It's a risk to hire people. Most companies can be profitable with less by doing less. It's just a fact that each business goes through cycles of having more or fewer employees and discussing which direction those emplo…

Here in Seattle we have The Highlands, Washington Park. and Medina, you can also throw in Hunt's Point. Like along New York's Park Avenue people pay for an address.

Sorry, The world has grown way too complex. My original comment was in response to a great number of people who think that working a job and saving money is a contribution. Maybe they'll even buy a house if we are all real good. This thread…

It's a Wonderful Life to believe that the banks are using the savers money. The United States is a debt economy. Savers are feel good, sleep through the night kinds of people that are just a drain on society. Risk makes the world go around. Yo…

Location does matter. EconE has said it perfectly: "Now let's take a tour up Highland. I'm going to include a couple houses south of Wilshire as the area is still pretty nice *just* south of Wilshire. Go too far south and it drops off substant…

My problem is that I don't see savers as being responsible. I don't get rewarding people who refuse to take a risk, hide in a job, collect a pay check to pay rent and bank what they don't spend. It makes no sense. I ask on this blog in particu…

I've been slow to come around to it, but think that there will have to be another way to get to affordability. What about the people who borrowed equity to put a child in college? What about the people who bought in the past five years, or traded…

Going back twenty years was a great thought. One thing that is much different today is the internet, computers, and computer software to run any type of business, or government. Once the genie was out of the bottle everything, and anything became…

OK that time the link to the historical Dow chart worked. Look at the run up in the Dow between 1988 to 2007. There is no comparison to the Great Depression according to the chart. The shear volume of dollars connected to the stock market is s…

I'm going to disagree here, but it's on a technicality. The way I see it, the economy has no real future until housing prices stabilize. There are too many bad debts on too many books, and so long as those bad debts keep getting worse we won't s…

Rampant protectionist nationalism. The people of the United States wanted to avoid going back to war. Congress made speeches about leaving Europe to the Europeans. FDR did absolutely nothing but throw money around on make work projects. There was…

And they call me delusional. The point is that the New Deal was a holding pattern for the next war. Governments like war. There was a surrender in World War I and the need to finish a job. Today is a different concern. There are no more wars t…

I'll step up and say that I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I did three rehab projects that I had only dreamed of being able to do. One project was a place I vultured for twenty years, another for almost eight, and the best was a stucco house…

I will second Ira's thought. My strategy was based on inflation. I honestly thought we would have a period of rapid inflation contrived by lenders and reinforced by the Fed. Oil prices were bound to go up, I bet on $100 per barrel from the fir…

Yes, Ballard and Aurora have high crime rates, that's very true. Let me point out that I was specific about gang activity related to the graffiti. Youthful exuberance is one thing, but desperation is another. As time goes on I think you will s…

Be careful of the Windermere links, they freeze up.

There has always been drought, famine, and locusts. If every one could just stay in one place and till the soil that would be one thing. Things change. If you have crops they need to be stored, distributed, and protected. You can grow a certain t…

Crime is everywhere people want to be. I think what the rose is referring to is gang activity. Yes there are gangs along Raineer Avenue and around parts of Beacon Hill. There are rules when living in areas with maurading teen agers. Most of the a…

The areas leading to the air port are more industrial. There are flight paths for commercial airlines to consider as well as the smaller planes from Boeing Field. Raineer Avenue may look more urban, but for many years it was a row of commercial i…

The Boer Wars were a fight for territorial control by colonists. That is the whole point here that I would like to make. Our economies have centered around war since the beginning of time. Governments pump in money for weapons, troop deployment, …

This may be a red herring but, it's interesting to me that the New Deal started at the same time Prohibition ended. Could Prohibition have been like our current "War on Drugs?" Prohibition certainly must have been a huge deployment of man power. The…

Thank you Tim for injecting an on topic bit of reason to this thread, but we are talking about War!
