Stream of consciousness. Also, the forum program removes the spacing.

But I agree...and I'd like to point out that you can't drink while driving in Nevada. When I lived in New Mexico drinking while driving was legal, believe it or not. I don't know if that has changed, but there was strong opposition to changing it.

Then, only recently, thanks to drunken teenagers, and other idiots, at "family" picnics, they took away our privilege of having a beer in public parks. That may only be the city of Las Vegas though. Gotta look that up.

When they say sales is bouncing along the bottom...bottom of what? Is that compared to similar sized cities, or compared to the way it was here before the bubble burst? Or what it should have been like if it wasn't for the shenanigans of banks and speculators before the crash? What is the norm? It seems to me that we may have settled down to what should have always been normal sales figures before. Am I way off on that?

BTW, this is an interesting NY Times article. I'm seriously thinking I'm tired of being the foo that is still throwing good money after bad. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...ersonalfinance

What's your point? Everyone knows we are bouncing along at the bottom. There's no tax credit. The loans are next to impossible to get and that alot of banks stopped the foreclosures as of today due to errors in paperwork..

The point was how much lower can they go.. You are not going to buy a 500k house for 50k anytime soon.

Please remember folks that apartments are "homes" just as much as a house is a "home".
I've enjoyed all the homes I've lived in-the last one especially, which happened to be an apartment.

Not even close. When you live in an apartment or even a condo, what you do can effect your neighbors, and what your neighbors do can effect you.

You have a neighbor that smokes, and falls asleep with a cigarette, guess what your HOME can go down with it. You have a neighbor get Bed Bugs, guess what you can get them easily also. You have a neighbor with German Roaches, and you are as clean as can be, guess what you can get them also. When you live in an apartment/condo you have to think that you are basically living in one big home with 8 to 16 different families/people.
