Maybe it's really "the Rapture"
After the Bubble, Ghost Towns Across America

Think about it. Maybe it's not only the houses that have disappeared. How do we know people are just walking away because

their mortgages are upside down? Maybe they are really gooooooooooone. Looks like W missed the call.

:evilgrin:

2. There was another article not long ago about empty condo towers..
in Las Vegas and Miami. People need affordable housing, but developers stupidly built overpriced McMansions with HOA dues and luxury condos with huge bulding fees. Very bad planning on the part of real estate developers and local government officials, who only had dollar signs in their eyes.

3. I really hope there is a "rapture".
Food and energy prices will drop for all of us "sinners".

Less people means less pressure on the environment.

Plus we'd be rid of a lot of idiots dragging us down.

5. It would be great if they all vanished...
in a miraculous Rapture. However, it simple is not going to happen.
