Something Weird

In Houston, there's a TV ad running (paid for by the city, I think) that talks about the housing crisis, something along the lines of, "Bad news on housing prices is making national headlines, but in Houston, housing prices remain strong."

It seems weird that my city is reassuring me about my house value. I find it unsettling everytime I see it.

  • Kind of a "pay no attention the the man behind the curtain" feel to it.

    Or "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes."

  • Start worrying if the next sub-division is called Potemkin.

  • It's just very weird for my city to be running these "reassurance ads."

    Frankly Houston has held up very well (we never got the crazy boom,) but at the same time, it feels like the captain of the ship telling me not to worry.
