Concerned about the housing market?

...try living here. Whereas it seems the rest of the country is going straight into the drink with housing issues, it is still astrofuckingnominal to RENT let alone BUY anything here. I was checking out some new townhomes that popped up, starting in the mid 900's. That's $900,000 to start. Yes, kids, that's right, here in The Bullshit Political Capitol of World new townhomes and condos are popping up all over the place. So, you really think the politicians are worried about the housing market in your town?

Let's throw around some numbers...$1000/month will get you shot at, robbed, your car stolen and just maybe your neighbors might be able to say "hello" in English. $1500/month and you can park your car safely, unsavory characters still prowl the grounds at night but the neighbors still can only say "hello" in English. $2000/month, (yes, this is for an apartment, not a house, townhouse or condo) will place you in a high-rise with a bunch of other wankers who can say "hello" in English along with "look at the trash that just moved in".

Now, you may be thinking that I'm talking about downtown. Nope, this is the freaking suburbs, 25 miles from downtown. Want cheaper? Move to West Virginia or Pennsylvania. Not just over the border either, I'm talking 45-60 minutes from the border. Hell, I should go live in Cleveland and just fly in every week. I'd be rolling in the dough and racking up the frequent flyer miles.

Wait till you hear about traffic and transportation around here. Good thing I can run farther than 5 miles.
