Coldwell Banker: The most expensive housing markets in the United States

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

While many of the top markets won't come as a surprise, there were a handful of curveballs in this year's list. Interestingly, despite the decimated state of its state budget and the ruined real estate of towns like Irvine, California dominates the list. One note: because of its lack of comparable housing units, New York City was left off this list.

Eh come. Are they are good thing for the economy? Close to 10% unemployment rate and you think 20,000,000 illegal aliens have no affect on the economy?

Funny how none of these pro illegal alien groups are using the they're doing jobs Americans are not willing to do line. Even they are smart enough to not use that bullcrap in this economy. So they have resorted to the why do you hate brown people lien.
