Some interesting links for the long weekend (if you are lucky enough to have one):
This chart offers a scary look at negative equity in the home market.
This link leads to the good news that housing here is most affordable.
This link shows that “user fees” (read fuel taxes) have a shrinking role in financing road work. It’s good fodder for rail advocates to use at holiday parties.
And this link leads to a fine discussion on a term I don’t think I’ve repeated here: “security theater.” (Be warned, if you don’t want to think or stress any of your presumptions, don’t click through.)
Enjoy -- and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
