$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MarkJ', 'I')'m just reporting facts, data and observations from real world experience in the construction, housing and job market. I never stated anything about my personal thoughts on housing prices, housing demand, housing bubbles etc.
Mark, I'm sorry the reporting you do is transparent in its spin, and underlying a lot of it is the implicit assumption that the housing market in Sarasota Springs is going to remain strong, the properties will retain their value, rich folks will continue buying condos on Lake George, etc. Your "reporting" about what you have observed in the qualities of the Homeless population with respect to drug abuse and sexual deviation, even in this most recent post clearly demonizes them, but also doesn't reflect the qualities of the homeless population we see being created NOW, though I am sure they will have all these problems in the future. Once their financial underpinings have been removed, people become very unstable, they even commit suicide and kill all their children. See the Going Postal and Falling Stockbrokers Watch Thread
You appear to feel immune to all this, removed from it and above it all, a passive observer of the landscape. You are not. Your attitude by itself is abhorrent, but beyond that you appear so thoroughly deluded by your wealth that you really think you will remain above it all. You will not. Unless you own all your properties free and clear, unless you can pay all the taxes on them as you foreclose on people who cannot pay them, the empire you have is going to crash down around you, as sure as the Sun sets over the horizon each day. If you have construction loans you took to build subdivisions or build Malls or build Nanotechnology plants, you will see them fail here in cascade fashion, as the rest of the economic system is failing in a cascade fashion. You also will become one of the Homeless, one of the Poor. Until you give up the denial, this is your fate. An economic collapse of this magnitude is a great leveller Mark, and I will tell you right now your investments are close to worthless, and if you hold a lot of debt used to create those assets, you are WAY poorer than I am. I live well by the work I do each day, which has value in any economy. You wealth can disappear in an instant, because its measured in fiat money, and trust me, its disappearing now as we speak. Its all burning up int he Greatest Bonfire of Paper Wealth in all of Recorded History.

Yes, I mentioned similar experiences with unstable people in the Mass Suicide thread in the current events section.
Once people lose their jobs, they often lose their sense of confidence, worth, savings, investments, home(s), vehicles, possessions, credit rating, spouse, family, friends, etc.
These things often lead to depression, anger, vengeance, vandalism, risky behavior, drug use, alcohol use, suicidal thoughts etc.
Employees terminated during a tight job market often suffer from these thoughts or actions.
To many people, their job or career *is* their life, so the impact of losing their job is much greater.

None of that could EVER happen to YOU though. I notice here a complete AVOIDANCE of the other points in my last post. Very significant.
