The last look I had at houses "days on market" had Seabrook had 103 - over two weeks longer than a year ago. In my neighborhood, things that aren't selling are being leased out as the rental market is hot.

I see all the new construction too and to be honest I'm really puzzled by it.
Man sorry to hear that. Anytime people lose jobs it sucks, sucks, sucks big time.
How many jobs were actually cut @ JSC ? I have some contact with people who still live in the Clear Lake area and have been told that there dosen't seem to be that many more houses going on the market given the size of the layoff @ JSC ?

Don't get your point,
where people are from has nothing to do with their political beliefs.
Just look at cuban-americans, yes they are cuban, and they are as far rightwing as you can find anybody.

Giving money to China, yes, for about $100/barrel, just like any other country.
Help with socialist system?
such as building a network of trains?
I wish we got a deal like that for Texas.
