"Be it ever so humble..."

The cover story for the June 13 issue of Time magazine is entitled: "Home $weet Home: Why we're going gaga over real estate." (See my personal gaga in my entry of June 7.) Of special note is the diagrammatic profile of one block of Chicago, namely the 1700 block of North Wood Street. One house more than doubled in value in just under a decade. It's worse in some parts of the DC area. One owner laments the dramatic jump in property taxes. Elsewhere in the piece is a sidebar on "the case for renting." This I gotta see.
