Matt,

Yes. THIS IS HUGE!

Back in '04, I went through a Bainbridge neighborhood's property deeds. Almost every last one of them had a second, and a bunch had a third.

Biggest writer?

WaMu.

WaMu was dead back then. We finally are getting invitations to the funeral.

Second point...

What's a well-to-do neighborhood doing taking out seconds and thirds? If you have the money, why borrow it? Where did it go? Can they service it?

I think this will be beyond ugly. It will be fugly.
