Broke people are buying million dollar houses again.

Yeah, except we can't BLUFF our way to victory..
 
Quote from pspr:

I read that the USDA is even making home loans now to rural areas or suburb towns of less than 20,000 residents. We're looking to buy a home in Texas but didn't fit into the income threshold for the USDA.

I think fiancial collapse II can't be far behind with this crap going on.

If I remember correctly the USDA has been making rural home loans for decades.
 
The government is going to end up buying thousands of houses and turning them into Sec 8 housing which will destroy many neighborhoods.
 
It's really interesting to me how technology has a way of bringing us out of every depression and recession since the Revolution. On the horizon, I see advances in batteries being what takes us out and ending dependence on fossil fuels. Synthetic oils have been developed to handle lubrication, so powering them is the only thing left. Figuring out how to quickly power a car to make it drive at least 500 miles on one charge is what I believe the next big thing will be. It's not out there yet, and unlikely to be from an American manufacturer, but it's coming. Who gives a shit about MPG; why can't it be infinite MPG? Fossil fuels will be gone in 80-100 years, leaving nothing but nuclear power in its wake, coupled with these advances in propulsion.

As always, computing power has reduced cost for R and D to such a marginally low rate that the economies of scale for mass-use technology will continue to grow. Microsoft will still be around, until other technologies are adapted to run on any platform.

To the OP, it's not that these guys are broke, more than it is they may not anticipate losing whatever source of income they have, which I'm sure presently they can afford it collectively.
 
Quote from ralph00:

^^^ The strangest part of the article describes how, during construction, Spelling would dash across the street to buy a hot dog from a street vendor. What kind of neighborhood is it that there are street vendors selling hot dogs? The only places I know where this occurs are busy downtown areas. I've never seen a hot dog vendor in the burbs. What's up w/Holmby Hills?

I wouldn’t live there. It is on the Beverly Hills tour routes because it is close to the Playboy mansion. If living like a monkey in a cage at the zoo sounds nice and you have this kind of cash, this is the house for you.
