Foreclosures are so high that homes previously low at 70 grand are going for car prices. Not a very glowing article ive read on the front page of MSN webpage. "After selling house after house in the Motor City for less than the $29,000 it costs to buy the average new car, the auctioneer tried a new line: "The lumber in the house is worth more than that!""

Both the video and the MSN article were thoroughly discussed on this Board about two weeks ago.
