After 4 months of paycheck delays, the investors foreclosed a San Francisco software company, sold it to themselves and started a new one with a few less employees, whom they let go Thursday. “Sorry, we don’t have a position for you,” they said to another four employees, who’ve been with the company from two...
In the midst of the real estate market crisis, the prices for homes have been going down, but not down enough. In California, where according to NPR, one in 88 homes has been returned to the bank, it is still expensive to buy or rent.
