I also read somewhere that we didn't really get hit with the housing bubble, because our prices never inflated (probably simply because there are WAY more houses than people who want to live here!).
Now that I have paid off my credit cards, I feel like I should look in to buying a house, as a modest house is actually less than my rent. But, then I would have to mow the lawn!

Punishingly Intricate
I love that NYTimes weekly feature that shows what $X will buy you housing wise in 3 different markets. Fascinating!

Wow, you guys, it looks like the marriage equality issue in New York is going to be voted on today (well, probably tonight -- it's apparently the last item on the agenda), and there are allegedly enough votes to pass it.

I hope no one has a connection through Atlanta. There's a huge fire at an industrial plant near the airport that makes high-tech plastic products. There's a hold on at the airport, and they're evacuating a two-mile radius.
