a few years ago, a Vallejo, California real estate broker was arrested ... for going around town stealing all the newspapers from the racks
the headline said something like “Vallejo is Number One in Murders”
the realtor explained that he couldn’t get clients to buy houses in Vallejo ...when he drove them around they saw the big black headlines in the news racks....
(of course, he COULD have PAID for his papers....smile smile ...but that’s another story....)
Yay!
Real estate will go back down now.
Half a mill in the hood.
Give me a break.
