Don't let the door hit you on the way south
This day has been coming since the Reagan years, when the American dream shifted from owning a home in a good neighborhood with a good job, to owning 15 houses and selling them off at inflated prices so you, yes you, can be a millionaire too. This push to create uber-wealth has so distorted our economy that like energizer bunnies, the developers just can't stop developing, even when it's OBVIOUS that there are not enough buyers for all these houses.
Now the news is that the big bucks are over the border, even though no one can afford to live there but the independently wealthy (duh, no jobs there, and no middle class).
Hopefully the "greed is good" gang will follow the Donald down to Mexico and leave us the hell alone, Maybe then our economic paradigm can shift back to the basics: Everyone deserves an education, a living wage and a safe, affordable place to live.
