San Diego developer Michael Crews Development is now offering two-for-one houses. If you buy one Royal View Estate home in San Pasqual Valley starting at $1.6 million, you get a 2,000-square foot cityscape row-house in Escondido for free. According to MCD's Dawn Berry, "It's our way of dealing with current market conditions to move some inventory...It's a straight-up legit deal; no prices have been increased, there are no hidden costs."
But guess what, I don't even care if there are, sign me up. Sign me up for four for the price of two. Sign me up for six for the price of three. Sign me and everyone else this type of thing is marketed toward, who still can't afford these babies but are seduced by the idea of free shit! Sign us all up and let's get this mortgage meltdown thing going again.
In Escondido: Buy one (house), get one free. [LA Times]

That's the most fucked-up thing I've read all day. Makes me glad I live in New Jersey, which takes some doing.

I can't afford a white elephant, but since they're half price, I'll take two!

Well if you purchase the big house and let it get repo'ed do you still get to keep the smaller one since you are only buying the 1.6 mill home?
