    They both purchased before the bubble, and the amount lost is based on the original purchase price of the house, so yes it is really a loss.

    The property management company is basically giving you equity towards the purchase of a house from them and only them. When the bubble popped, they still offered the equity but the amount of houses decreased and the approval process became very stringent

    I do not "LolCats". I do however have client data, contracts, billing statements, PO data etc stored.

    Completely innocent and non-suspect is relative. I can store something on a cloud service that may be perfectly legal for me to do, yet in the host country may not. I've now committed a crime haven't I?

    You don't have to be the person that is suspect in the beginning, there is a reason for data mining. Having someone / something snoop all data they can get a hold of in the hopes that they find something they can use. Whether it is actually usable or relevant doesn't matter.

    I've noticed that you have cleaning products under your sinks. Didn't you know that in this state, it is a felony to have cleaning supplies in reach of children under the age of X? Oh, is that your 2 year old son. I'm sorry, I'll have to take you to jail now.

    This is a hypothetical, but it is representative of how the government works. More often than not, they are coming in to look for things that will aid them in building a case against you even though they may seem completely benign. While searching your "nothing to hide stash" they come across a picture of you from 10 years ago with a college buddy who is now on a "watch" list, or a family member who speaks out just a little too much about the government.

    Just because you think you have nothing to hide, does not actually mean that you have nothing to hide and shouldn't hide anything.

    Because my data, that I do not willingly give to you, should not be accessed by you. It's really that simple. I put things out there so that I can access them easier while I am out and about, not for you, your government, my government, hackers or advertisers to access it. This goes the same with any business in the world. There may be cheap, reliable cloud systems for storing data that will benefit the business, but hinder or harm it if it gets out into the wild. The government should not be able to access the records of foreign business and or foreign citizens without the correct due process that is afforded not only by our constitution, but also by the laws of the business' / citizen's country of residence.

    Your point is valid, but only to the extent that you assume property values are always increasing with only slight short downturns in the market. Right now, that's just not a truth. Many people I personally know, are completely upside down on their homes. My mother has lost $70,000 of the value of her house since 2009. A friend of mine has lost nearly $100,000 on his house. This is a huge problem here in Atlanta and people are walking away from their mortgages and going off to rent apartments and rental houses because in the long run, it's going to be better off for them. Especially with so many apartment rental companies offering equity accrued monthly as a base % of your lease.
