China's Housing Boom Spells Trouble For Boyfriends

Remember what happened to the US economy when `housing' prices got out of hand? Well, this is the story in China now:
Mike Zhang considered himself serious boyfriend material. He knew what to order at an Italian restaurant. He could mix a tasty margarita. And he always volunteered to carry his girlfriend's handbag.

Then came the deal breaker. Zhang, a 28-year-old language tutor and interpreter, couldn't afford an apartment in the capital's scorching property market.
Rather than waste any more time, his girlfriend of more than two years dumped him.....

A typical 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath apartment in the capital now costs about $274,000. That's 22 times the average annual income of a Beijing resident.

Unlike in the United States, where home buying traditionally takes place after marriage, owning a place in China has recently become a prerequisite for tying the knot.

And, what happens when that `bubble bursts'? The Barf will hit the fan for sure - the Stew is about to reach boiling. http://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/la-fi-china-bachelor-20100621,0,6167359.story

Prisoners Cashed In On Homebuyer Tax Credit

It's probably good for Barf Stew readers that I am also into `the paranormal' stuff - because one can find more than enough Barf coming from our government to fill the Stew to overflowing. That said, this outrage - that over 1,000 PRISONERS - some of them serving life sentences - were able to cash in on the Home Credit for first time buyers of homes - to the F-ing tune of 9.8 MILLION dollars worth (at 8,000 a pop) -- can you say INCOMPETENCE? - Much more to outrage you at the link - http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/23/real_estate/money_stimulus_fraud/index.htm  - careful, Stewing on this will cause indigestion.
