Today's News

I've been enjoying some of the thoughtful discussion you all have left in some of the previous posts. I hope that can continue.

I've been pretty busy at work and so I didn't have time to post much. But here is a list of the housing bubble related news. It's all rather negative; no sweeteners today, just more vinegar. The article discussing how talent is leaving the Bay Area because of the declining quality of life (to a great extent caused by the outrageous cost of decent housing) is good but not terribly surprising to those of us who have been watching and discussing this bubble for a while now.
