  • FUCKING SCUMBAGS

    This turd should be in jail for many many years. He and the other parasites and scumbags like him are fully responsible for this horrible mess that we are in. After all, without flipping fucking jerks like this, the housing prices would be nowhere near where they are.

    The ONLY reason that CA houses are in such a horrible mess price-wise is toads like this. These houses are often very very small, and selling for thousands of dollars higher than anywhere else in the country.

    For you CA jerks, let me tell you about my house. 5200 sqft, 9/10 acre lot, 4 bath, 5 bed rooms, family room is 30x35 with 19 ft ceilings.

    Cost, in 1997: 172,000

    That's what you CA idiots are missing. Buying a nice house for a reasonable amount. And what did you trade that for? The opportunity of selling each other the overpriced property down the block until all prices went thru the roof.

    I'll tell you one thing that would fix this: repeal Prop 13, so that everyone would be punished in property tax by the misuse of the resale of houses.
