A friend of mine is bidding on nearby houses for $30k. They all need work and they're not in the best neighborhood, but they're not in the worst neighborhood either. I would say these houses could have sold for $100K at the peak.

State cutting some cash assistance

BOISE -- The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is reducing or eliminating payments to approximately 1,250 residents receiving cash assistance under the Aged, Blind and Disabled program.
Agency administrator Russ Barron says the program faces a $1.1 million deficit.
Over 14,700 Idaho residents receive cash payments through the AABD program, and most will continue to receive $53 a month.
Payment reductions range from $33 a month to a $198 a month reduction for 300 participants with developmental disabilities who live in certified family homes.
The proposed changes will take effect on July 1 and those affected will be notified by letter as early as this week. With reduced state payments, some people may see an increase in food stamp benefits.

Local bank gets robbed twice in twenty four hours!
MODESTO, CA - Investigators were searching for a crook who held up a Modesto bank Friday, less than 24 hours after the same branch was struck by another bank robbery, a Modesto police spokesman said.
The robber walked into the Oak Valley Community Bank on the 4100 block of Dale Road in Modesto around 2:22 p.m. Friday and handed a clerk a note, demanding money, Modesto police Sgt. Rick Armendariz said.
The crook was last seen running through the bank parking lot with an undisclosed amount of cash, Armendariz said.
The suspect was described as a man in his late 20s to mid 30s, wearing a black baseball hat and a grey shirt.
The incident happened a day after Belko Yovanovich, 52, was arrested for robbing the same Oak Valley Bank branch Thursday afternoon.
In that theft, witnesses outside the bank called 911 and provided vital information about Yovanovich and his getaway truck that led officers to Yovanovich a short time later, Armendariz said.
Here in DC, local auto repair shops charge 96/hour. And we are not talking about fancy dealerships but hole in the wall type gas stations with a few bays for auto repair. The dealerships are more like 138-150/hour.
Local restaurants charge extra for extra toppings.
A good friend of mine just bought a 2 year old Volkswagen diesel car. My neighbor bought a 3 year old Infinity. Another good friend of mine and her husband bought two brand new Hondas in one day.
This all happened within a couple of weeks. I discussed this phenomenon with the husband of my friend with the Volkswagen. He said "She has had her car for 10 years. She deserves a new one, and the way the economy is . . . I figured my money would do more good purchasing something we need than sitting in the market losing money." (They already have guns, gardens and gold.)
Perhaps tumbling the market down (like we've seen) is good for "stimulating" the economy.

My niece is a manager at the local Walmart. They had a fellow arrested for shoplifting the other day. He tried to take $300 worth of baby formula out in a duffel bag.
