1. What's that sound I hear?

A Haiku:

What's that sound I hear?
The ominous clicking of
the next domino.

2. That really sucks for their clientele
Getting screwed out of their money and home through no fault of their own is a real heart breaker.

3. Double the irony, when you consider that they STARTED
the whole homebuilding frenzy a half century ago..

Without Levittown as the successful model , perhaps we would not even be where we are now.

Imagine an America without two Lowes per town, a McDonalds on every corner, concrete & asphalt as far as the eye can see, and spindley, cookie cutter trees in every yard...proudly reaching to the sky..at least 15 ft into the sky.
