Couple Actually Ponders Ruining Their Son Versus Their Credit Score
The Wall Street Journal's M.P. McQueen travels to Cape Coral to find the Chinese drywall poster family: Keith and Denise Cramer and their son Gavin. The situation is serious and--as if owning a home today in Florida isn't bad enough--the added inconvenience of living in a sulfur-emitting, copper-corroding cocoon would be downright unbearable. But the faux dilemma here is as absurd as the title of the article, The Prisoners of Drywall. McQueen writes, "The Cramers say if government tests conclude the Chinese drywall is a health hazard, they will be left with a difficult choice: 'We will have to either ruin our son’s life by staying, or ruin our credit by walking away from the home.'" That anyone would even consider staying in a home designated as a toxic mess is simply ludicrous. Plus the federal government will probably just roll out a Cash for Clunkers equivalent for these unlucky homeowners. Call it Cash for 干壁.
