This sounds like an “only in San Francisco” story if I ever heard one.

A San Francisco man who paid $621,000 for a condo to share with his 10-year old son is fighting to rescind the deal after learning the other unit in the two-unit building is home to sadomasochism enthusiast who engages in loud “leather sex.”

Preliminary data for March home sales and prices are not very encouraging. But a prominent housing economist, Karl Case, thinks it’s time to to give more credence to month-to-month comparisons, rather than year-to-year comparisons, because of how last year’s numbers are distorted by the housing tax credit.

Seen from the month-to-month perspective, the market is slowly improving, Case said.

Last week I blogged about how technology is replacing retail jobs. Today, Paul Krugman took it a step further on how technology is replacing college eduacted jobs.

The day after the Obama-Bush event, The Times published an article about the growing use of software to perform legal research. Computers, it turns out, can quickly analyze millions of documents, cheaply performing a task that used to require armies of lawyers and paralegals. In this case, then, technological progress is actually reducing the demand for highly educated workers.

“Very little is written about what will happen when all the dollars, built up as foreign central bank and private holdings, get spent. Indeed, we believe that not only will the dollars get spent, but this spending will have massive inflationary implications for America.” —Richard Branson
