Buy a house in the USA - and it might not be the USA anymore

January 8th 2009 08:30
The breakup of the USA might look like this
As the financial crisis in the US deepens and widens, people are confused by the plummeting value of their real estate.

It's sickening to think that you paid $500 000 for a house, only to have it worth $300 000 now - and there's still no buyers. Why should you throw money after it?


Well, there is some guarded optimism about 2009's housing market, that there might be an increase in business and, thus, in value.

That's if things stay the way they are, though. If the Russians' prediction is correct, the USA will fall apart into bickering pieces.

You can almost feel the potential... though everyone loves the flag and the idea of a powerful country, when you travel in the US, it becomes clear how different the pieces are. The South is a wildly different place from the Northeast, and the East Coast thinks they're better than everyone else.

Alaska, sold to Russia.

Hawaii, sold to China.

The South, united with Mexico, or joined with Mexico.

The East Coast, joined with Europe and their expensive taste in coffee and wines.

A Californian Republic, under Chinese influence.

What about the cold, northern states? To go side wth Canada? We get those ones? We've got enough frozen tundras, thank you.


The idea is crazy, but what about the possibility? Very unlikely, I would think - but think about what it means for homeowners... your luxurious house in Beverly Hills, now under Chinese law. Your ranch in Texas, now part of Mexico.

Real estate is a tricky field, one that depends on people believing that things are worth what they are and, most of all, that things will remain the same. Can things remain the same? Is it possible for the US to split apart? I can't even imagine it.

To make it worse, thanks to the rising sea levels, the filthy rich in Malibu are running out of sand, and the ocean is threatening to take their fountains and beach houses, too. As you can see, the bikini babes and surfer studs will have no where to frolick no more:

Fascinating post. A completely new concept to me, but very interesting as an Australian.
