Standing in line there were people that took a crash course and had taken the test multiple times.

The government certainly doesn't want an uptick in foreclosures again, barely a decade after the last housing market crash.

The house is located in east Atlanta in the Edgewood neighborhood and was vacant for over a year while the statutory barment process was completed and was vandalized and used as a crack house and a place for homeless to crash.

Keep saving and wait for the market in Southern California to crash again - but who knows when that will be?

I bought it to live in, and after moving out there was no way to sell it without taking a huge loss (we purchased it in 2007, pre-crash).  

Having lived (barely) through 4 divorces I can attest to one divorce is worth 2 stock market crashes and the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I'd worry about putting up a barricade to keep cars from crashing through the front door of the house at night.   

I distinctly recall empty freeways in Bellevue during rush hour after the last crash.  

The only way you could convince me was if you made some sort of demonstrable change and then... stopped crashing!  

Spiking oil prices in the 1970's, then crashing in the late 1980's to less than $15 per barrel.
