I recieved an inquiry today about the price crunch in the city with most people getting pushed out of home ownership and where I thought the best deals were in the city.  I answered to the best of my knowledge and again, it's ended up being a super-duper-uber long response.  I did realize that I forgot to mention things about new initiatives the government is supposedly taking to help make financing property easier (i.e. longer amortizations, lowering the downpayment requirements, etc.), but I'm too spent to continue.  I'll do it next time.  If you're interested in checking out the question and my reply, you can read it here.
