Chicago Real Estate Market

The news doesn't look too hot for May 2009 coming in from Ric Cox and ChicagoCondo'sOnline.com. My FBI, real estate, and Chicago mortgage fraud warnings from 2007, 2008, and 2009 are proven accurate with this latest news. No amount of government spending, regulation, or oversight will change the fact that the real estate markets have been looted. The only way to change it is to ensure folks exchange ability to pay for the money the borrow. For example, Why did the government authorize and banks lend 30 year mortgages to folks with four year student visas? Troubling at best.

Chicago Clout Parking Scams



Chicago police force assists with serving the clout list of corrupt people that live off of the public. This is truly a government of the government for the government by the government. While private citizens pay $40-$60 per parking space at Chicago sporting events, those on the clout list are served by Chicago Police earning overtime wages and utilizing public "NO PARKING" spaces or temporarily preserved spaces for free. Once again, the taxpayer pays while the public officials and their cronies promote the Chicago Taxpayer Extortion Ring. Watch as Pam Zekman of Channel 2 News highlights the fraud, corruption, and abuse of power still in action here in Chicago, IL.
