Jeez ...That could have been 20,000 foreclosures in Riverside. NBC Nightly News had a section on the Chinese Real Estate tour last night where they interviewed several Chinese buyers.

FOR THOSE WHO REMEMBER after the Reaganomics SPENDING SPREE ( he spent more than the entire 200 years before him) but cuts to sba and people

both residential and commercial RE took A HUGE DIVE.



THA JAPANESE BOUGHT BIG AND BAILED US OUT OF A FREE FALL.

THEY WERE STUCK WITH promise of big RETURNS DIDNT HAPPEN FOR YEARS.



So now if we get a Chinese bail out this time ,great.

Hope they know they are in it for the long haul.
