Welcome to the Homeowners Blog
Welcome to the Homeowners Blog. We created this blog as a place where the average homeowner can share ideas and experiences about the major challenges relating to home ownership. Those obviously include the housing crisis/mortgage meltdown we now face. They also include other challenges related to buying, selling, remodeling, financing, or building a home, as well as other major economic challenges facing many homeowners, like health care costs. In addition, we also plan to talk about the major policy issues that impact homeowners and home ownership, also from the perspective of the average homeowner.
In this politically correct world you might wonder what we mean by "average" homeowner. We use the term strictly in the politically correct demographic sense. The "average" homeowner isn't rich, nor is he/she poor. If you exclude the richest 10% and the poorest 10% of all homeowners, the 80% remaining would be "average" in our opinion. Similarly, if you exclude the 10% of the homeowners whose political philosophy is furthest to the right, and the 10% of the homeowners whose political philosophy is furthest to the left, you would be left with the 80% of homeowners whose political philosophy spans the range most political opinion.
In short, we're a bunch of flaming moderates who are seeking practical solutions to the real life economic and policy challenges we face in our daily lives. If this description sounds like you, we invite you to join us and participate in this blog.
