End of the American Dream?


A frighteningly surreal video report about people living along "Foreclosure Alley" in California who are losing their homes. Shown are "trashout" crews that ferry valuable belongings to the dump instead of selling them, guys who paint brown lawns green to increase abandoned homes' marketability, and swimming pool drainers fighting West Nile virus. Props to Andrew Sullivan for finding and posting this initially.
