Re 246 and no closets in the bedrooms. If the owners were Europeans, they actually might have planned the bedrooms without closets. In European houses/apartments the bedrooms come without closets because the euros use free standing furniture designed as closets to hang their clothes. (In Germany they’re called “shranks; in France armoires.”)

Speaking of lost jobs. Looks like Shaq is losing his gig as a deputy.

#356 the banks were the dopes who gave the loans out. Their failure to accurately price risk contributed to this bubble and will lead to millions of people losing their jobs, not to mention contributing to the inflation in food and energy. Oh that’s right CPI doesn’t count food and energy.

My mistake.

I liked the story about the waitress who heloc to 10 x income. She figured out how to get college scholarships for her kids. A waitress outsmarted the Wall St crew.

“If the bank wanted greater protection, it should have bargained for it. She does not owe some BS moral/ethical duty to the bank to pay off that loan when the law says she has no such duty.”

Yes, yes, yes. No one in this mess has anyone to blame but themselves.

njpatient,

People actually think the homeowners should make some sort of restitution to the bank because house prices have dropped?

That makes no sense.

353, NJP

Mencken sounds right — my favorite from him was “there’s only one way a newsman should look at a politician, and that’s down.”

[351] ChiFi,

LMAO. No, I was near R.I., not Gloucester. Though one of my first MA clients was there.

I have been following that case and the mayor’s recent explanation is horsesh!t. There is another shoe gonna drop on Cape Ann.
