Californication

From the Los Altos Town Crier: National home sales down, locally – up.

The average price of homes in June was $922,149, down from $970,702 in May.

The headline is absurd. They're trying to catch greater fools.

Besides, the EE is well aware that people have trouble conceptualizing large numbers like $900K.

Let's revisit the numbers again:

Drop = $970,702 - $922,149 = $48,553.

Number of days in June = 30.

Drop each day = $1,618.

That's a fuckload of money to be losing each bright summery California day in June, innit?!?
