Silicon Valley Fortress areas.
"Fortress"... an alien term of unkown origin, never used in years before the bubble. Certianly not used by natives who lived here for years. Perhaps its a term used by folks from the East Coast who divide their regions of the cities based on what ever....
No, this isnt Boston, or Philly, or NYC.
"Fortress cities" is a new term.
I have been contributing to housing blogs since 2005 and although that term has not been used until the last three months, its OK by me since this term accurately describes the resistance to lower prices by sellers.
btw, "Fortress City(ies)" is being used on drhousingbubble, irvinehousingblog and cotohousingblog.

Ten Things I Hate About Big Boomer And/Or Casey Serin,

Divide and conquer has always been the most succesful tactic for forcing this bullshit down our throats. Look at the chronological proof; white vs. black, young vs. old, boomer vs. gen-x, red vs. blue. And they laugh all the way to the bank from the sweat off our brow. I’m just sayin..
Wait a minute weren't the boomers that were "Talkin bout my ggggeneration", did you asshats invent generational divide? Funny how the group that perfected us Vs. them is now trying crying can't we all get along? No, no we can't. But hey at least you have the solice of virtually every radio station playing a fine collection of boomer rock. Rock on Ed at least your not getting shot at on campus, or dying with your buddies face down in a 'Nam rice paddy.
Got to agree with this - and after all, wasn't it the Boomers who demonstrated, protested, marched, petitioned, and voted for pols who gave them abortion rights to KILL OFF about 40 percent of us X'ers and Millennials?????
And NOW they want kumbaya???
And wave the flag of fear of "divide & conquer" ???
LOL

"Who is buying" - well, could be the heir of a deceased parent's estate or life insurance policy.
The life insurance policy benefit could give the buyer enough for a 20 percent down, depending.
Could also be a person whose parents or relatives live in a country where its easier to hide income from taxation and so the family is able to come up with the $$$$ to buy outright or with a substantial down.
