...only worrisome part about that is what happens if demand then falters. Nationwide, we've seen an uptick in the number of people buying houses - both existing homes and new ones. But still, according to the Oppenheimer report, "the demand side of the equation is less than impressive." Nearly a third of existing-home sales are currently to first-time homebuyers - a wildly disproportionate amount.

These authors have not allowed the cheery, glossed-over tourist vision to take hold, but have always seen a darker side of the city: a once powerful trade and cultural capital transformed into a sinking, aesthetic skeleton. For Balzac, it was the perfect frame for a Prince with only a title and no wealth; for Mann, it allowed for the exploration of beauty tainted by disease...
