THE SMART GIRL SUMMIT will be in Washington DC beginning on 9-30.

The Smart Girls helped found the Tea Party movement (TPM).

Maybe the Smart Girls will have a proposal to stop escalating home foreclosures across the nation.

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.
