Real estate is still a topic of great interest both here in Costa Rica and there in sunny Key West, where I spent so many good years and participated in a dizzying real estate run. As I am inclined to look back in time to satisfy my curiosity about the future, I found this graph interesting.(
Hal O'Boyle fled New England in the seventies for Key West, Florida. He settled there because the road ended and local legend had it that large, sodden bales of marijuana floated up onto the public beaches at night. The bale tales were greatly exaggerated, forcing him into business to secure reliable supplies of pizza, beer, and bullets.
He spent thirty years in Key West ending up, like everyone else, in the real estate business. In 2005 he moved to San Jose, Costa Rica, where he now lives with his wife, two teen aged sons, mother-in-law and three big, muddy dogs.
When not home schooling the boys, he writes his provocative, refreshingly incorrect observations of government, society, politics and culture.
He is the author of "Democracy: The Painted Whore, an Extremist Explains War, Drugs, Guns, God, Gold and Santa Claus"
Enjoy the spectacle and folly of the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, the War on Education, the War on Privacy, the War on Anonymity, the War on Common Sense and the War in Iraq from the comfort of your own barstool or Lay-Z-Boy.
Buy your copy before DHS bans it. It makes a better gift than a bottle of cheap hooch and you can always say you thought it was a guide to New York brothels.
