I’m looking at my schedule for the weekend, and estimating that ‘Friday’ will show up on this blog sometime Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, my thought for the weekend:
How ’bout a square-feet-per-occupant guideline on that housing bailout? Not persuaded that the bailing-out is the best way to proceed. (Said by a person who is very keen on affordable housing and owner-occupied housing.) But I’m certainly sympathetic to those who were faced with the choice of ‘if you want to own a home, you have to buy at this ridiculous price’. We were fortunate not to have needed to relocate during the big bubble.
So my thought is this: If I am going to be subsidizing your housing, I would like it to be reasonable housing. Kind of rankles to imagine someone went out and mortgaged a McMansion, and I have to pay taxes to make sure the poor folks don’t have to downsize to a house like . . . mine. Just envy speaking, don’t mind me.
Plus I’m curious to see what the government would come up with as a ‘normal’ home.
