Swimming Upstream in a Confluence of Corruption

Vancouver Real Estate: How Big Banks and Big Government can Influence our Local Market.

I rarely dip my toes into the political abyss, but the confluence of Wall Street, Real Estate and Big Government was just too big to pass up in this case. I understand, nearly to the point of apathy, that I can do little to control the outcome of these macro-economic issues. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t still tick me off to see what’s happening around us.

I’m pretty close to the “action” in this whole short-sale/foreclosure marketplace, working with clients, both buyers and sellers, who are looking for a way out (or way in) to this unprecedented housing situation. Regardless of your political leanings, no matter your disdain for either big government or capitalism run amuck, this is just wrong on so many levels. And, don’t kid yourself, both sides of that equation are to blame.

So without further delay, enjoy the show…
