OpEdNews.com is a site that I hadn't even heard of three weeks ago. A couple of friends noticed that a writer for OpEdNews.com had quoted a number of my talking points from Title-opoly and brought the fact to my attention. The edgy, political tone of the written word on the site immediately appealed to me. I admire writers who stand their ground while tackling tough, timely issues. After a bit of soul searching, the average post on OpEdNews is extraordinarily well written, I decided to create a profile and submit a post to the editor.
My first article on OpEdNews, The Cult of Plausible Deniability, isn't for everyone. It's intended to spark contentious debate by dealing with the public policy implications of destabilized housing markets.
The article could be summarized in this way:
The current housing crises was precipitated by a breakdown in protocol by licensed real estate professionals nationally. The ostensible correction of housing markets as characterized by pundits isn't a correction at all. It's the collapse of an enormous business model that once served as the foundation of the social institution that is homeownership. Industry wide complacency is the crux of the problem.
