Title: speaking of resale values
Post by: Amanda_931 on April 22, 2006, 09:19:21 AM

At least until the next administration (D or R or something else, still be a new president) the condo--especially--and luxury markets in the DC area are tanking.  Largely, according to the article, because it was sooooo easy to make lots of money speculating.

Which means, of course, that people who just needed a place to live are getting caught if they get transferred or need to move to a retirement community.

New president?

Assuming that our boy does not declare himself president for life,  or, the way it was done in Alabama, run Laura for president, or....

[size=12]  Very few "real people " live in the DC area.  Let them all burn in thier corruption, both sides , MTL this "tanking" is as common as pre election cycles / when ever it is clear , IE end of second term of Pres. , that a new man , some day maybe a  new women , will be moving into the white house .

  When you play with fire you some times get burned , they should have planned on it  ::)      [/size]

My cousin's kid lived and worked in DC for a handful of years.  Selling senior class trips to Washington DC.  IIRC she was living in a one bedroom apartment with three other young women.

Not directly connected with the government, although that may have been what her degree was in.
