Goddamn Californians And Their Goddamn Blue Sky
Brad DeLong reminds me about that certain smugness of the western half of my family tree…
The Associated Press reports:
Plunge in Existing-Home Sales Is Steepest Since ’89 – New York Times: Sales of existing homes plunged in March by the largest amount in nearly two decades, reflecting bad weather and increasing problems in the subprime mortgage market, a real estate trade group reported today…
…Ummm… if sales are down by 9.1% in the West–which means California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington–how can that have been due to bad weather in February? We don’t have "weather." Couldn’t the AP have asked that of Mr. Lereah?
You have no idea how much this sort of thing irritates us Californians In Exile…
