THE AGE OF POLITICAL RADICALIZATION has arrived.

Hereafter RealEstateBlocks will have a mix of real estate, economic,  social, and political punditry.

The fact is the US residential real estate industry is completely tied to political decisions being made in Washington DC.  Ninty-seven percent of all mortgages are owned by the GSEs (FHLMC and FNMA) or by the Federal Reserve.  Over 95% of new mortgage originations are FHA.  Housing sales are completely controlled by mortgage and tax credit decisions made in the White House and in Congress.  The income of every residential Realtor is controlled by government.  Its just a fact.

Consequently RealEstateBlocks posts will be a mix of real estate and related political news, events, and commentary.

DOUG MC NEA, candidate for the 24th Assembly District will be at my house on Sunday at 5PM, May 16th.  Doug is most likely to win in November and will be talking about his campaign.

This is a Tea Party event and we’re looking forward to endorsing Doug.

Anyone who would like to attend please email or call me.

GAGA IN AFGHANISTAN is a Smoking Gun vid must see.

Will GAGA become the new rage?

“IT IS A STARK illustration of the inequities of capitalism that organized labor can only afford to by one political party but Wall Street can buy both of them.”  Mickey Kaus,  Democratic candidate for CA  Senate.  Via Instapundit.

THE SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS on Thursday had a 8×8 photo of me under the headline “Its Their Party” followed by an article on the Silicon Vally Tea Party and tax day rally.

My mug on the front page of the Mercury was a surprise.  I hope everyone who is unfamiliar with the Tea Party movement  (TPM) has a chance to read the Mercury article and understand the Tea Party better.   I expressed my practical views as an Independent.

I must thank Silicon Valley Tea Party Patriot Deanna Doyon for her leadership in coordinating with the media coverage of the Tax Day Tea Party Rally.  Without her leadership neither my mug nor my views would have appeared or the coverage of Channel 2 News here.
