Real estate foreclosures are coming to “safe” suburban neighborhoods

Filed under: commentary, real estate — Tags: — taewoo @ 2:57 pm January 29, 2010

Burbank, one of the better well-to-do suburbs of Los Angeles that is home to some of the big companies like NBC and Warner Brothers, is joining the ranks of smaller but (crappier) California cities in real estate foreclosures:

Regional foreclosure filings surged 63% in 2009, triple that of California and the nation, as more area homeowners struggled to make mortgage payments, according to a widely cited real estate report released Thursday.

Burbank is a white collar area with predominantly upper middle class white folks. Low crime, high income, blah blah. According to City Data, Burbank has

  • 2008 crime index of 218 vs. average national 320
  • estimated median household income in 2008: $62,259 (it was $47,467 in 2000)

By any measure, Burbank is a nice neighborhood with money flowing through it, thanks to entertainemnt

<sarcasm>So apparently, foreclosures DO happen to nice towns. I thought financial disasters only occur to fat, lazy, and ugly people.</sarcasm>

Mail Order Brides

So apparently the whole men-to-women ratio is totally skewed in Korea (Women: please give birth to girls. Boys are useless and not very pleasant to look at when they grow up.)… and they have to resort to finding their wives in Vietnam, Phillipines, etc etc. Take a look at this freakin’ ad:

vietname-wives-for-sale

 

Translation: “Vietnam. They don’t run away. International mariage specialist.”

This is ridiculous.

WHO in their right mind who want to abandon a nice Korean husband? Total sham.

more soju please.

Residual Bathroom Stank

Filed under: funny — Tags: — taewoo @ 4:03 pm

What’s worse than waiting a line at a public bathroom? Being the NEXT person to go after Pe-Pe Le Pew comes out after dropping a Napalm. Total double whammy:

  1. There’s a residual stench you have to deal with while you pee (if you need to #2, you better squeeze them abs and them ass cheeks hard and hope for a quickie)
  2. When you come out, the person after you thinks you’re the perp, giving you the I-just-swallowed-something-sour-bitter-face.. not to mention everyone else sitting near the bathroom running for cover.

Good thing my poo smells like roses.
