This guy gives a good explanation of what a housing start is, it doesn't mean shit if no one can buy the home. I can build sculptures of Dancing Polar Bears and say, "I'm starting a project", doesn't mean that I will sell them.

Sandy will increase values in the Northeast for houses that are not flooded. Sandy destroyed some inventory, and it will also be a while before builders can start or continue what they were already building.

22 foreclosure notices in the small hometown paper today.
In his book, "Between Two Ages," Brzezinski wrote: "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values."

Austin at least in the hill country off highway 71 for my new place but I don't know about the whole city though. I read Austin's newspaper Statesman a while ago and was under the impression that the demand for new housing is high.

Well, the mortgage rate is VERY TEMPTING! I had no choice but move to a new city and look for a new house. 3.25% loan rate... I compared that to 5.5% for the old house. hundreds of dollars saved a month!

Actually, it would be SMART to refinance mortgage loans... It will save you hundreds of dollars a month if your old loan has over 5% rate.

Correction- not just "idiots" rent so do those of us who are poor and can't afford to buy a house! And not for nothing but I thought I read that during hyperinflation its the food prices that rise but housing prices become extraordinarily cheap and it's not until the recovery they skyrocket so the best time to buy is when hyperinflation is the worst.

With foreclosures at 10's of thousands... almost anyone can afford a house... Food will go up the fastest, however housing will skyrocket as well. Look at Weimar Republic Germany... In addition if the economy goes south, renters will get kicked out of their apts and a much quicker rate than homeowners- just sayin...
