Hate to be bitter here, but all these low housing prices and rates come at the expense of millions who were victims of the mortgage crisis and housing breakdown...and say all the nasty comments that you will, but there are still plenty of us who were innocent of not having bought more then we could afford, or fell for ...more

I knew this was what DirecTV was up to when they refused to offer us not one incentive, advertised or otherwise, when we moved recently- they were even going to charge us for installation at the new house!!!!

Our p...more
