Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.
Got an email from a loyal member of the Haterz Community who spoke with Snowflake a while back. The jist of the email was about G's cleaning houses career.
"I seriously doubt G is cleaning houses to earn money. When Casey and I spoke on the phone he was so excited that he'd earned money from the night before that he told me he and G had stayed up late coming up with scenarios to drive up traffic, etc."
So....I wonder what the little minx's role really is in this drama.
@Dawg, Those are her thumbs, NOT "fairy globes." That pic is G rated, although, maybe an optical illusions. And as for pleather polish, Can I use it on my micro fiber fake suede? te he
Trust me, I've got nothing against fairy globes and yes, I went to the large picture "just to make sure."
I caution you however to not put pleather polish on anything except the real deal. The cat got into some of the stuff and now we can't catch it.
Dude, let's talk about the end of realtors shall we but to answer you question. I've long been convinced that Casey saw one of those "What is your blog worth?" icons on somebody's website and took it seriously. You've seen them; a picture of Washington from the dollar bill and some obscene valuation below it.
Seriously, There is a 41 year supply of Inventory here in Downtown Orlando with regard to Condos with Values of 500,000 thousand dollars or more, according to Mike Thomas of The Orlando Sentinel. Homes and Condos under $250,000.00 have an eight month supply here. I think a Real Estate Licensed Professional can fix this. Just put the Condos on the MLS, right. They will earn every dirty penny of the 6% of a half a million dollars, right? (end innocent sarcastic tone) te he
OMG. I just listened to Leslie Stahl's promo. I've never heard her sound so unprepared, almost like she was making it up as she went along! Here's hoping her actual story is better...or even done.
Oh and for anyone who thinks "Poor Galina, how can she put up with it all..." Don't. If she was really some dimwitted, abused housewife she'd be living with Sis & Snowglobe would be out on his ass. She's been involved from the beginning, all the signs are there. CHeers!
@the dude and bemused guy...I fully agree. Galina's in it up to her tits. She was doing the early finances, and would have seen before fucktard that the schemes were unraveling.
It would be interesting to see if she has any creative financing or properties in her name.....
I wouldn't expect too much investigative journalism from this '60 Minutes' piece. Here's a PDF the NAR is distributing to it's members to "spin" any public questions about the segment:
I was always curious as to what you got for your 6% off a realtor when we get charged about 1.25% for a similar service in the UK. OK you have to sit some exams and be licensed. You might include doing some staging for the client. But 4.75% covers a hell of a lot of learning, insurance and staging.
As for G, I think she knows or is involved enough that she is culpable of what has gone on. She has had her name on some of the properties. I can't believe she started her accountancy course and still knows almost nothing about finance, borrowing, ethics etc. However, that does have to be balanced against going along with what Casey says as he is the "head" of the family. (I was going to say household but then they don't have a house)
For some interesting context, check out this video of Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman and Realtor CEO Allan Daulton. It's from their BIG stand off while panelists at the NY Inman Connect event back in January 2007. I think it's the same event 6o minutes taped for this show BUT, in it's entirety. Pretty telling stuff.

Hey FMW, nice ummm "fairy globes." But what are you going to do with a lifetime supply of pleather polish?
MURST!
Leslie Stahl was a Beauty Queen, so I am sure she can come up with some lip stick for the Dinopiggy.

@ Dawg,
But I am glad you like it.

as for the what to do question... i suspect we'll see a resurgence in the original manner of 'home making.'
I was always curious as to what you got for your 6% off a realtor when we get charged about 1.25% for a similar service in the UK. OK you have to sit some exams and be licensed. You might include doing some staging for the client. But 4.75% covers a hell of a lot of learning, insurance and staging.

(I was going to say household but then they don't have a house)
Here's more good advice that Casey won't take.
Anyone care to wager how many of these mistakes he will make if he does pursue his harebrained trading scheme?
