Lighter Side Of The Housing Bubble

There’s not much amusing in the subprime meltdown and housing bubble burst, which is why we were gladdened to see a site called Burbed. Basically, they make fun of San Francisco Bay Area housing listings.

There’s the “Detached Single Family Residence” that looks suspiciously like a converted Motel 6 unit, the Re/Max broker who is apparently a Canis lupus, as in, a wolf, at least judging from his For Sale sign, and the “fantastic” three bedroom that “won’t last long” thanks mainly to its “views of the airport.”

Sorta like gofugyourself, except for houses.
