If you compare apples to apples (e.g. same home sales) the run up in prices was even more absurd that what the papers have reported. The 'median' property of today is not the 'median' property of 15 years ago.

Much like home prices, it appears that the Bay Area has overinflated to include 9, count em 9, counties. As people have looked for newer and/or cheaper housing, we have stretched our boundaries.In the coming recession, do you think we will go back to the original 5?

How LOW do you have to stoop to be President?

Bush says US economy is safe and sound
By BEN FELLER Associated Press Writer

FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—President Bush worked to reassure Americans on Monday about the economy but said “there’s definitely some storm clouds and concern” because of the nation’s credit crunch and mortgage problems.
“But the underpinning is good,” Bush told business and community leaders at a gathering of Rotary Club members.

“We’ve had a pretty good economic run,” the president said in a speech intended to show he is aware of the public’s edgy mood these days. Consumer confidence has eroded as turmoil in the housing and credit market have battered the economy.

Bush tried to position himself as an advocate for working families by taking aim at his favorite target: the Democratic Congress.

“The Congress cannot take economic vitality for granted,” Bush said.

“The most negative thing Congress can do in the face of economic uncertainty is to raise taxes on the American people,” Bush said.

The audience of roughly 80 people listened to Bush with respectful silence. Yet a line that normally gets him applause—”I’ll veto any tax increase”—drew no reaction at all.

Bush chose to highlight positive economic news, such as job growth. “People are working; productivity is high,” Bush said.

He acknowledged the nation’s major economic woes—mainly the housing and credit crunch—in the context of explaining what his administration is doing to help.

We can mitigate some of the issues,” Bush said.

“I just want to let you know we’ve got a strategy. And Congress can help,” the president said, citing a list of bills he’s proposed to lawmakers.
Bush spoke at the Yak-A-Doo’s restaurant inside a Holiday Inn.

The White House wanted to keep the flavor of the local Rotary meeting, so there was no banner or backdrop. Bush was not even introduced; he just showed up, drawing a round of applause. The Christmas music being piped was not cut off until someone pointed that out.
