:lol: I think what may be a factor in it though is that higher "prices" leads to higher property taxes - but more social services.

As I responded to this in another thread...It's now been over 40 years since socialized medicine became a core part of our country's medical system (Medicare implemented in 1965), and yet most of the predictions Reagan made on that record haven't happened.Which leads me to believe that Reagan was incorrect in his assessment.

I suspect two of the issues that will come up are "It's socialized medicine and we don't want that," and "It's going to be expensive."

One more question: After I wait 3 days notice after giving them the eviction notice, when I go into the court house to file the eviction, do I have bring all info such as the tenant's social security number?

Mike are you sure Dragon's Den is Canadian??

I cannot believe people can be so gullible with this American and Canadian drivel.

Most were in outlying areas, distant from employment, schools, shopping, most social interests, and public transportation.

Many people have multiple names, no social security number, some don't know there dates of birth, etc. so the task will take a couple of generations, I think.Credit is fairly easy to get for properties because buyers make a significant equity contribution and most banks are government-owned and the government pretty much forces them to lend.

I was a huge skeptic about the whole "Social Networking" thing.

In fact, those who tend to be the most giving and the most socially progressive (in my experience) are those who made a lot of money in capitalistic endeavors...It's the people who have nothing who seem to be most concerned about the taxes they'll never earn enough to pay...
