Brothels, Bailouts and Overbuilding

Good morning. We’re a little dizzy thinking about how to explain this one. Here goes: it’s a blog post about a blog post about blog posts that deserve wider posting: OC Register mortgage blogger Mathew Padilla hosts Zillow.com’s ‘Carnival of Real Estate,’ in which he sorts through a bunch of blogs and picks three posts worthy of wider distribution:

--Diane Tuman’s Zillow.com post about the mortgage brokers who allegedly turned their house into a brothel.

--Morgan Brown’s anti-bailout commentary from his own blog, Blown Mortgage.

--And San Diego real estate agent Denny Oh’s post from his own blog, arguing that downtown San Diego really isn’t overbuilt.

Thanks, Matt. , and thanks, Calculated Risk, for the link. Yes, the world of blogs is sometimes an echo chamber of echo chambers, an aggregation of links, shout-outs, and hat tips.
