When is the last time my salary doubled? And now that houses cost a few percent less that two years ago everyone is panicking???!!!If anything the cost of the average home should DROP dramatically- to where it was about 15 years ago, which is where it belongs. How DARE someone ask $800,000 for what is essentially a SHACK- a cheaply built aging piece of CRAP. For that kind of money I should be able to buy a CASTLE. I am sick and tired of hideously inflated prices. When my salary is indexed to what things cost you can raise prices all you want. Anything short of this is simply a rip-off.P.S- I love how we are so conditioned to think that a 3% raise is so good, when goods and services regularly rise in the double and triple digits.</blockquote>
